Tenor Anthony Kearns entertains at the HSE’s Enniscorthy Creative Activity Garden

A season of outdoor events is continuing at the Creative Activity Garden, located on the grounds of St. John’s Community Hospital in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford.

Those present there on Holy Thursday (2 April 2026) enjoyed a performance from internationally renowned Co. Wexford tenor Anthony Kearns, who stopped by in Enniscorthy having just finished singing to sold-out audiences in North America on tour with “The Irish Tenors” group.

Featuring an amphitheatre styled area, the Creative Activity Garden is a multi-functional space for gatherings and health and wellbeing activities in the heart of the HSE healthcare campus. The open air concert hosted there on was attended by residents and service users of the campus, by staff and visitors, by local residents and community Gardai in Enniscorthy. “The Hobnobs”, a group comprised of local retired mental health nurses group, were also on hand for music and song.

Those enjoying the lunchtime event in the Creative Activity Garden included community Gardai from Enniscorthy. The organisers were also delighted to welcome Niamh Bulger, Wexford Local Authority’s Age Friendly Coordinator and Caroline Horan, Access Officer with Wexford County Council. Refreshments were kindly provided by the catering team from St. John’s Community Hospital and by a local restaurant called B27.

The Activity Garden project was supported as a placement incentive by Wexford County Council’s Culture and Creativity team and Age Friendly programme, in partnership with the HSE, Creative Ireland, the Irish Architectural Foundation and the Enniscorthy Men’s Shed. Opened in September of last year, the development was also made possible thanks to funding from the government’s Town and Village Renewal Scheme.
