The Store at Borris House

The Store at Borris House is a small independent shop in the village of Borris, County Carlow, set within the grounds of the historic Borris House estate. It occupies the estate’s Gate Lodge, making it an easy first stop for visitors arriving to explore the house and its gardens.

The Store gathers together an eclectic mix of locally made art, craft and artisan produce. The shelves typically hold work such as jewellery, felt pieces, earthenware ceramics, woodwork, paintings and baskets, alongside candles, beeswax products, soaps, jams and cordials. The emphasis throughout is on quality and on supporting local makers.

The shop keeps seasonal hours, generally opening across the summer and into the closing months of the year, so it is worth checking ahead before travelling. During the open season, tickets for the Borris House and Garden tours can also be purchased here, which makes it a natural starting point for a wider visit to the estate.
