A fantastic centre dedicated to the life and legacy of St Patrick. Really interesting to find out about his life sourced from his own writings. The story is told through videos, films and interactive displays. The staff are lovely and so helpful. It was a really great centre.
The gift shop is lovely. Well stocked with a great range of Irish crafts, jewellery, clothes etc. Well priced and items to suit all pockets. Although we didn’t use the cafe, it looked nice and certainly was busy.
This was a highlight of our trip and really worth visiting followed by seeing the grave of St Patrick at the nearby Cathedral.

We didn’t really know what to expect but we wanted to know more about St Patrick.
What a fabulous surprise we got, the museum was excellent, so informative and very well done. The gift shop was huge and had such nice things and the cafe was superb.
Highly recommend you visit here.
Just one small issue - parking! We couldn’t find that the centre had a car park and as we had a lady with mobility issues we had to drop her off and go and find somewhere to park. To do this we needed the RingGo app which fortunately we did have but unfortunately we didn’t have data for our phone so that cost us a fortune!!!!!

I cannot recommend the St. Patrick Centre enough. I entered the tour believing that I knew most of what there is to know about St. Patrick and I left the tour realizing that much of what I was taught about St. Patrick was inaccurate. The exhibit and videos were so well done and realizing that the exhibit is at the site of where Patrick’s ministry began is very humbling. Afterwards, the St. Patrick Centre’s director, Dr. Tim Campbell, spoke with our group and fielded questions about St. Patrick, Northern Ireland, Irish politics, history, culture, society etc. It was such a special experience. I can’t wait to come back to visit!

Absolutely adored this center. The Patrick’s center is home to an incredible exhibit dedicated to the cultural significance and history of St. Patrick. It was very eye opening walking through the grounds of the center as they had much more to offer than the exhibit. The café is wondering and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The center creates a homey and calming ambience. I very much enjoyed myself at the center. It is also within close proximity of the cathedral at Down Patrick and St. Patrick’s grave. I highly recommend visiting here!!
