Entrants will have access to the gardens from the walled area, through the gate into the herbaceous border area. Any family member planning to join the entrant must enter with the car, or subsequently must park in the general public parking area, thus entering through the Powerscourt House Reception area, paying the appropriate Powerscourt Gardens entrance fee. It is important that all cars are in place between 11.00am and 12.30pm as the entrance gate to the walled garden will be closed at that time and no access will be allowed after 12.30pm. Members of the public may not enter the walled area through the same area as the cars and must come through Powerscourt House. Cars will be directed, by our Marshals, to park a minimum of 2 metres apart and, when parked, the driver should go directly to the IVVCC gazebo to collect their car number, entrants list and voting slips. The car number must be displayed on the car throughout the day. PLEASE NOTE: Dogs are NOT permitted in the walled garden or any of the Powerscourt inner gardens. BBQs are also not allowed. In order to facilitate an orderly display of our historic vehicles, it is important that all entrants adhere to Marshals’ requests when parking the cars. Cars should not exit the area before 17.30pm unless under Marshal’s escort.
