Ex-pats invited to come home to HomePlace

One hundred ex-pats are being invited to ‘Come Home To HomePlace.’

They will enjoy a complimentary visit to the new Seamus Heaney centre over Christmas.

Anyone homeward bound for the festive season simply needs to register and then bring proof of travel.

HomePlace celebrates the life and work of Seamus Heaney.

Speaking about the seasonal promotion, Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Trevor Wilson, says home is never closer to the heart than at Christmas.

 “We are delighted to be offering a warm welcome to ex-pats who travel from across the world at this time of year to be with family and friends.

 “And where better to visit than HomePlace, located at the heart of the area where the poet and Nobel Laureate had his roots and where he returned to time and again, both in person and through his work,” he says.

“The exhibition itself explores Heaney’s deep-rooted connections with this place and its people, featuring dozens of personal stories, photographs and artefacts, as well as the voice of the poet himself, and will resonate with anyone who is coming home,” adds Cllr Wilson.

Complimentary entry to the Seamus Heaney HomePlace exhibition is available on production of proof of travel from outside of Northern Ireland (e.g. boarding pass, plane or ferry ticket) and when accompanied by two other full-paying adults.

The ‘Come Home to HomePlace’ offer is valid only from Tuesday 27th to Friday 30th December.
