There’s great news for those in Sligo, or coming to visit, as Sligo Abbey has reopened to the public. The abbey has been closed to the public for the last two years, so it’s wonderful to see them back open again.
The abbey is open from the end of March to the end of October. Seven days a week from 10am – 6pm, with the last admission at 5.15pm.
