[DescrShort]

Birr Scientific and Heritage Foundation wishes to invite interested parties to submit a tender to undertake the upgrading of the Science Galleries as described in the project description. We are looking to create a new and exciting experience within the existing Science Galleries. Birr Castle has been home to the Parson’s Family since 1620 and, during the past 400 years, this remarkable Parsons family have achieved great things in the areas of Astronomy, Botany, Photography, Engineering and Horticulture. First opened to the public in 1985 as a visitor attraction, it all started with the gardens and the Great Telescope and was subsequently followed by the Science Galleries, Shop, Café and Treehouse Adventure Playground. In recent years, the opening of the castle itself for tours for 4 months each summer was also added. Each phase has resulted in increased visitors and revenue. The business is a registered charity with education at its core.

Brief background on the business
Birr Castle has been home to the Parson’s Family since 1620 and, during the past 400 years, this remarkable Parsons family have achieved great things in the areas of Astronomy, Botany, Photography, Engineering and Horticulture.
Birr Castle Gardens & Science Centre was first opened to the public in 1985 as a visitor attraction and is currently open 362 days a year. It started with the gardens and the Great Telescope and was subsequently followed by the Science Galleries, Shop, Café and Treehouse Adventure Playground. In recent years, the opening of the castle itself for tours for 4 months each summer was also added. Each phase has resulted in increased visitors and revenue. The business is a registered charity with education at its core. The foundation was set up to preserve and protect the heritage at Birr Castle Demense and to educate and inspire the next generation. Sharing our unique and fascinating stories with the public is something we are very proud of and is something we aspire to continue.
Over the coming months, the company (board), would hope to complete a new vision and strategy document that will take the business to 2030 and beyond. The new strategy plan will take effect from 2020 as part of the 400th celebrations of the Parsons’s family at Birr Castle.
