Immerse yourself in the extraordinary world of Seamus Heaney, exploring the people and place that so inspired him, through his words and imagination.
An absolutely exceptional experience at Seamus Heaney home place. I studied Heaney at A level and this is a fascinating exhibition, telling his life story, showcasing his work and capturing his heart. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in poetry, history, art or Heaney himself. Beautiful place! I believe that this should be a place for all schools and local colleges to visit! It even has a brilliant library showcasing his work!
Driven by Bellaghy several times and finally found time to visit the home place. Brilliant experience- if you don't know his work it's an education but if you do it's an absolute treat. Excellent use of old photos and interactive exhibits and great for all ages. The staff are welcoming and informative and really make the visit. And by the way, they have an excellent cafe as well.
Friendly staff and lovely museum. Second visit but easier to get round this time as much less busy. Nice gift shop but pricey. Toilets clean and well stocked. There is a cafe too.
My first time at the centre and visit to Lough Beg. Great center and professionally run. Good parking good disabled facilities. Nice little cafe.
We dropped in here on the way back from Derry-Londonderry and so just couldn't do the whole tour. But my goodness what a wonderful space. Peaceful, reflective and certainly great even if you have no background in poetry. It is designed to introduce Seamus Heaney's poetry and life for everyone. The library space and sensory garden are both incredible. We will definitely be back for the whole tour!!!
