Nore Valley Park is a campsite, an open farm and an activity centre. We are open from March to October each year. Nestled on the banks of the idyllic River Nore, we are the perfect countryside location for a relaxing family getaway while being a very short distance (20 minutes) from Kilkenny city, and very close to the M9 motorway. A family-run business in operation since 1989, we put families first. Our annual events and activities and our award-winning facilities are recommended by and focussed on families. As well as a stunning campsite overlooking rolling green hills and a gentle river, we are home to a wide range of farm animals. On the farm, you will see everything from the more common farm animals such as sheep and goats, hens and ducks to the more unusual, like ostriches, owl and red deer. While the farm is ideal for a family day out, some may want the fun of the farm at home... Well, our farm can come to you! Book our Mobile Farm and we will bring gentle and friendly live animals to your home, school, nursing home, creche, or place of work. Packages start at €100; you won't be disappointed! Pet Farm Come and learn something new while visiting a working farm. With stunning scenery, adorable animals, and amusing activities, we are where memories are made. Take time out and stroll around the farm, feeding and petting our wide range of animals. Children are free to play in an interactive and safe environment with facilities and activities to suit all ages. Throughout the day we offer a chance to bottlefeed lambs or goat kids, cuddle baby rabbits and hold newly hatched chicks. Relax with a cup of tea and home-baked scone or biscuits, and pick up a souvenir or a snack from our shop. While we promise enjoyment for families taking a day out, we also offer unique and memorable experiences for groups, birthday parties, hen parties, and team-building excursions. Discuss with us your needs and we will gladly accommodate!
