What to expect
Tinahely Farm Shop, run by Rebecca Allen and her husband Philip Hadden were featured by the Brennan Brothers "At Your Service" and RTE's "Nationwide" TV programmes and have been highly praised by the Irish Times.
Children can immerse themselves in the Activity Barn at Tinahely Farm Shop which has ping pong, fuze ball and a large indoor beach. There are also donkeys, ponies, pot bellied pigs and goats to pet and feed. There are tearooms and a gift shop where you can buy artisan foods to take on a picnic to the nearby Tomnafinnoge Woods, an ancient oak wood that provided timbers for Westminster Hall and the British naval fleet.
Everyone will enjoy the delicious freshly prepared food in their restaurant. They are famous for their smoked salmon and cheese boards, which have a wonderful selection of fresh local produce offering the very best tastes of Ireland.
There are lots to enjoy for all the family including rare breeds in their Animal Walkway and Wicklow's only indoor beach, and an extensive children's pedal go kart track where they can safely play for hours on end and in all weathers.
