Fantastic centre- 100% recommended. - A fantastic centre dedicated to the life and legacy of St Patrick. Really interesting to find out about his life sourced from his own writings. The story is told through videos, films and interactive displays. The staff are lovely and so helpful. It was a really great centre. The gift shop is lovely. Well stocked with a great range of Irish crafts, jewellery, clothes etc. Well priced and items to suit all pockets. Although we didn’t use the cafe, it looked nice and certainly was busy. This was a highlight of our trip and really worth visiting followed by seeing the grave of St Patrick at the nearby Cathedral.

Excellent - we learned so much but parking is an issue! - We didn’t really know what to expect but we wanted to know more about St Patrick. What a fabulous surprise we got, the museum was excellent, so informative and very well done. The gift shop was huge and had such nice things and the cafe was superb. Highly recommend you visit here. Just one small issue - parking! We couldn’t find that the centre had a car park and as we had a lady with mobility issues we had to drop her off and go and find somewhere to park. To do this we needed the RingGo app which fortunately we did have but unfortunately we didn’t have data for our phone so that cost us a fortune!!!!!

Highly Recommend! - I cannot recommend the Saint Patrick Centre enough! The staff were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, and the exhibit was spectacular. The exhibition was engaging, informative, and very well done. The gift shop was great, too! If you're in the area, the Saint Patrick Centre is a must-see.

Amazing Experience - I cannot recommend the St. Patrick Centre enough. I entered the tour believing that I knew most of what there is to know about St. Patrick and I left the tour realizing that much of what I was taught about St. Patrick was inaccurate. The exhibit and videos were so well done and realizing that the exhibit is at the site of where Patrick’s ministry began is very humbling. Afterwards, the St. Patrick Centre’s director, Dr. Tim Campbell, spoke with our group and fielded questions about St. Patrick, Northern Ireland, Irish politics, history, culture, society etc. It was such a special experience. I can’t wait to come back to visit!

Visit the Center!! - Absolutely adored this center. The Patrick’s center is home to an incredible exhibit dedicated to the cultural significance and history of St. Patrick. It was very eye opening walking through the grounds of the center as they had much more to offer than the exhibit. The café is wondering and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The center creates a homey and calming ambience. I very much enjoyed myself at the center. It is also within close proximity of the cathedral at Down Patrick and St. Patrick’s grave. I highly recommend visiting here!!

Your Next Stop!! - The St. Patrick Centre is a must see! You truly will be missing out if you are to not visit this wonderful place during your visit to County Down. Between being greeted by the most wonderful, helpful and kind staff and the informative museum that the Centre offers you truly will leave the centre with a smile on your face. The food at the cafe is amazing! The whole place is organized by Dr. Tim Campbell. A truly great man who puts his all into this beautiful centre, and it truly shows in the best ways possible!

amazing time at the saint patrick center - Most amazing experience i’ve ever had in county down. i would recommend this to everyone i know. you learn about the rich history of saint patrick, northern ireland, and the republic of ireland. Dr. Tim Campbell is a genius when it comes to this stuff. being able to learn from him was an amazing time

Incredible! - I have traveled Europe and across the US and The Saint Patrick Centre is far and beyond one the best places I’ve seen. It is an outstanding place to visit and learn about both the history of Ireland and St Patrick. A must visit!

My Experience at the St Patrick’s Centre - I was lucky enough to be welcomed by the Saint Patrick’s Center as one of their Young Ambassadors for the 2024 program. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. All of the staff is extremely welcoming and kind. The exhibition of Saint Patrick is beautiful and extremely insightful. I would highly recommend it to anyone who lives in or is visiting the Downpatrick area!

St Patrick’s Centre - The St Patrick’s Centre is a beautiful and well run place. The staff at the counter and at the Cafe are very nice and helpful. The exhibition is very thorough with their knowledge of St Patrick and the history of what St Patrick’s Day means for everyone around the world. If you wanted to see St Patrick’s grave it is a short distance from the Centre.
