The exhibition will be officially opened at 12pm by Kevin 'Boxer' Moran - Minister of State for the Office of Public Works. Talks on history, traditional buildings and their maintenance will also be part of the exhibition, announced Kildare County Council.

The venue of the exhibition is the farmyard of Castletown house. No booking is required and children can enter the show for free. Some of the topics that the speakers will be covering include environmental issues, the conservation of buildings with historical significance, development and care but also adaptation of buildings.
