Father's Day at Rathwood

Not sure how to spend this Father’s Day? Not to worry, Rathwood has everything you need for a fun and eventful day with the whole family. Only an hour’s drive from Dublin, Rathwood sits on the border of County Wicklow and Carlow and offers plenty of activities to suit everyone.

Whether you’re up for a hot lunch or a picnic, we’ve got you covered. Enjoy a hot meal with the family in our MerryTree restaurant, and then treat yourselves to some of our delicious desserts with coffee or any other drink. If you prefer a picnic, take a lovely walk through our forest, where you will encounter ducks and deer, and then delight in a family picnic on one of our picnic benches just outside the forest entrance.

Looking to get your dad something special while you are here? Not a problem. Our shop is sure to have something your dad will love, from books to clothes, tools to BBQs. We’ve got it all.

Pamper your dad this Father’s Day by booking him in for a massage, haircut, or even a facial at our beauty boutique, which is sure to be a hit. Let your dad have a day of rest where everything is about him and spoil him rotten. 

If dads are looking to spend some time with the children, the Ark Playcentre is the spot. Dads can relax with a hot drink and a treat while the kids enjoy playing in the play centre. The parents get some relaxing time while the kids run around enjoying playtime.
