Ionad Lachtaín Church, Arts and Heritage Centre, Freshford

Ionad Lachtaín Church, Arts and Heritage Centre was established to provide a visitor centre with information on the locality and local history of Freshford.

 

The centre hosts a local heritage museum and gallery to exhibit the work of local artists and crafts people. It provides a venue for cultural activities such as lectures, concerts, artistic and training workshops. It provides access to, support for and information on the historic St. Lachtain’s Church, showcasing in particular the 12th century Hiberno Romanesque doorway and the story behind more than 1400 years of continuous worship on the site. St. Lachtain’s today is a living church with an active community centre. Church service is held every Sunday at 10am and all are welcome.  Ionad Lachtaín is run by a secular and intercultural committee of local volunteers.
