National 1798 Rebellion Centre

Nestled in the heart of Co Wexford, Enniscorthy offers a wealth of culture and heritage.

The National 1798 Rebellion Centre explores the inspiration behind the Rebellion, in which over 20,000 people were killed in Wexford alone. The compelling, multi-media exhibition details the battles in Wexford and across Ireland and the aftermath that led to the 1916 revolution.

A trip to the Vinegar Hill battlefield, where one of the bloodiest battles of 1798 was fought, puts the visitor in the footsteps of the combatants with amazing views over Enniscorthy town and the River Slaney.
