We are absolutely delighted that Wexford County Council has just announced work will begin on Redmond Park in September 2018.

Time for one last Summer Hurrah at Picnic in the Park!

The annual Picnic in the Park at Redmond Park scheduled for Sun, Sept 3 has been postponed due to the wet conditions. The event, organised by Love Redmond Park, will be rescheduled for a later date.

Redmond 100

This year marks 100 years since the Battle of Messines and the death in that battle of Major Willie Redmond. A number of events have taken place in Wexford looking at the life, times and legacy of Willie and at the political contribution of the Redmond family generally. These included an ecumenical ceremony of remembrance and wreath-laying at Redmond Park on June 11 to mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Major William Redmond MP. This was attended by descendants of the man himself. There was also a Major Willie Redmond exhibition along with a very well attended commemorative lecture by Jarlath Glynn at Wexford Library earlier the same week.
