The centre is open to the public every weekend from 11.30am – 4.30pm from March to December, and at other times by arrangement. The committee is pleased to host suitable activities such as concerts, exhibitions, courses or projects in the church or the annex.

We have previously hosted musicians such as Don Baker, Ciara Dalton, local band the Super Noodles and guitarist Will Killeen. Our most recent concert was led by Kilkenny-based musician Jack McHugh and we are looking forward to hosting Mick Hanly on the 26th of July.

Past lectures have included topics such as 19th century artist Edmund Fitzpatrick by local historian Ned Kennedy, artist Margaret Allen by author and historian Dervla Murphy, and the architecture of the church site hosted by Margaret Quinlan and Dr. Rachel Moss. Our 2024 festival has, so far, featured a lecture on beekeeping in Ancient Ireland by Shane Lehane and a talk on Bealtaine and Druidry in Modern Ireland held by local Druid and Seanchaí Eimear Burke.

This year we are excited to be taking part in Culture Night with an evening of music, story-telling, poetry and more in an event called ‘Local Voices’ and, of course, we are looking forward to hosting our third annual art exhibit with the theme ‘Nature is the best artist.’ Details for entering paintings will be available on this website or through our socials.
