Issued 20th July 2009

This summer Mount Usher Gardens are introducing an additional element to enhance your enjoyment. Every Saturday through July and August, starting on July 4th at 3pm there will be some of Irelands most talented musicians playing in the gardens. String Quartets, Jazz Trios, Champion Saxophonists, Harpists and Classical Guitarist will all be taking part in Mount Usher’s 1st Summer Music Festival. Come and spread out a picnic blanket, enjoy some delicious strawberries and cream and enjoy the music and of course our wonderful Irish summer sun!
If the younger members of the family find classical music less than captivating then they can sit and decorate a unique ceramic plate or mug with Rainbow Ceramics who will be joining us in the Garden every Saturday from 3 to 5pm.

Mount Usher Gardens is one of the great gardens of the world and truly a memorable day out for the entire family. Situated in the village of Ashford, just 35 minutes on the N11 from Dublin, and close to Bray, Wicklow and Arklow towns, it is only a stones throw from the historic site of Glendalough, and a perfect destination lunch stop when visiting the Wicklow mountains or on your journey to or from the South.
