Welcome to Ards Friary

Thank you for visiting.

Ards aims to welcome everyone and is available throughout the year for Retreats (preached, directed, private etc) Conferences, Seminars, periods of rest and relaxation, reflection, prayer and holidays. We all need to take time out from the hectic life cycle of work to refocus on what is really important to us. Why not let Ards become a part of your life.
