The voices of Carrick-on-Suir are at the heart of Tides of Time Visitor Centre.
Over the past year, we invited the community to take part in storytelling sessions and conversations, sharing memories of the town, the river and the people who shaped this place.

These real voices, like Honora Murphy’s (nee Morrissey), now form part of our evolving “Voices of the Suir” aural archive within the interpretation.
Tides of Time is about preserving memories, stories and a sense of place for future generations.

We would love to continue collecting stories and memories from the community. If you would like to share yours, please get in touch over Instagram/Facebook or email [email protected] 🌟

Learn the heritage and history of Carrick-on-Suir directly from a local woman!

Dorothea Herbert was a diarist and poet who lived in Carrick-on-Suir in the late 1700s.

She wrote a lot about her life as a Rector’s daughter in 18th century Ireland.

And now she gets to bring the stories of Carrick-on-Suir to life by guiding you through our Tides of Time exhibits.

We cannot wait to share our contribution to Tipperary heritage with you!
