Base Creative saddles up with The Irish National Stud
Sorry about the corny post title but were giddy with excitement here as we have won the tender to design and develop the new website for one of Ireland’s premier visitor attractions, The Irish National Stud.
The Irish National Studs’ attractions include:
The Stud
Guided tours are available at the visitor centre.
The Japanese Gardens
The Gardens, planned to symbolise the ‘Life of Man’, are now of international renown and are acclaimed as the finest Japanese Gardens in Europe.
The gardens at Tully are a living monument to the meeting of Eastern and Western cultures in a Western setting. The symbolism of life the garden portrays traces the journey of a soul from Oblivion to Eternity and the human experience of its embodiment as it journeys by paths of its own choice through life. Typical ambitions toward education, marriage, or a contemplative or carefree life, achievement, happy old age and a gateway to Eternity are portrayed. Furthermore as an example of Japanese Gardening of its period, it is perfect – a Japanese Garden with a hint of Anglicisation about it, was precisely the type of garden being made in Japan at that time.
St. Fiachra’s Garden
To celebrate the Millennium, this garden was opened in 1999 and commemorates the Patron Saint of Gardeners St. Fiachra or Fiacre.
The Horse Museum
The horse museum at the Irish National Stud has on display the skeleton of Arkle.
The new website will focus on both the visitor attractions and the horse breeding community alike and will encompass an online gift store, booking facility and social media integration.
Stay tuned for the launch date!
