Dear Future: I Leave This Place For You - Rowallane Garden

Find out how a gift in your will can help us protect and preserve the special places in our care.

  • Booking essential

Without gifts in wills, we simply wouldn’t be able to look after the extraordinary places in our care. This special event will take you behind the scenes to see first-hand how your support is helping us carry out crucial conservation work every day, and how a gift in your own will could help to safeguard the future of our special places.

Originally designed in the 19th-century as a place where visitors can leave the world behind and immerse themselves in nature, Rowallane Garden is one of the most beautiful gardens in Northern Ireland. Join our expert team who will take you on a detailed tour of the garden, highlighting the challenges they face to create and keep a garden that is a spectacle throughout the year. At lunch you will then hear from a local solicitor from the National Free Wills Network about the importance of an up to date will and we'll share information on how to access the National's Trusts free will service. You'll also have the opportunity to chat further with members of the team to learn about their work and why gifts in wills are so crucial.
