Anne's Grove Gardens is scheduled to open to the public in 2022. Since 2016, The OPW has been engaged in a complex conservation project to restore the historic gardens and this major phase of refurbishment, which is the first in a series of phases, is nearing completion. It is planned to have the Gardens available to the public next year with a modest catering offering in place on site. The visitor experience will focus on the gardens and the important plant collection and visitors will have some opportunities to explore some of the restored courtyard areas.

Further phases of conservation works are planned relating to the main house and ancillary buildings. These projects are subject to planning permission and the availability of funding in the years ahead.
