The Iveagh Gardens were laid out as exhibition gardens during the 19th Century, with many unusual and unique garden features such as the Maze, Rosarium, Cascade, the Grottos and the Sunken Archery Grounds. On account of its designation as a National Historic Garden, its size and the fact that it is designed primarily for passive recreation, it is not appropriate that the Gardens should be designated as a National Music Park. However, as in the past, the Gardens will continue to host suitable music events from time to time.
