Tender Request to Create New and Exciting Visitor Experiences Within the Existing “Science Galleries at Birr Scientific and Heritage Foundation which Trade as Birr Castle Gardens and Science Cent
Birr Scientific and Heritage Foundation wishes to invite interested parties to submit a tender to undertake the upgrading of the Science Galleries as described in the project description. We are looking to create a new and exciting experience within the existing Science Galleries. Birr Castle has been home to the Parson’s Family since 1620 and, during the past 400 years, this remarkable Parsons family have achieved great things in the areas of Astronomy, Botany, Photography, Engineering and Horticulture. First opened to the public in 1985 as a visitor attraction, it all started with the gardens and the Great Telescope and was subsequently followed by the Science Galleries, Shop, Café and Treehouse Adventure Playground. In recent years, the opening of the castle itself for tours for 4 months each summer was also added. Each phase has resulted in increased visitors and revenue. The business is a registered charity with education at its core.
