Castlebridge has received €300,000 under the 2025 Towns and Village Renewal Scheme to transform the gardens of historic Castlebridge House, birthplace of the Guinness Book of Records.

The news was welcomed on behalf of the community and Wexford County Council by Cllr Robbie Staples, Chair of the Castlebridge Town Centre First team. “It will restore the area for inspiring outdoor events and performance space and pocket park, swing benches and pagodas and biodiversity area, and hopefully, some features relating back to the Guinness Book of Records set in the grounds of this landmark building,” concluded Cllr Staples
