The closest car park to us is The Town Car Park (see map below) which is situated to the rear of Field's SuperValu, there is a 2 hour parking limit in this and on the streets around us. The closest parking space in The Town Car Park reserved for persons with a Disability and Age Friendly, are approximately 50meters from the venue main access door with footpath all the way.

If you think you will need to park for longer than this then please use the Fairfield Car Park as this has unlimited parking. This is approximate 2min walk. Persons requiring a close by disability or Age Freindly parking space for longer than 2 hours, please contact staff in advance and we will make arrangements.

TOURS
General Our guided tours are available for special interest groups including schools, colleges and adult education. The guided tour will pull together connections and meaning from distinct parts of our exhibitions. Every tour is different. At present we are researching and working through procedures to reintroduce tours to our galleries in a safe manner. 

School Tours We work closely with the West Cork Education Centre to bring you relevant creative and educational experiences. We invite primary and second level schools to engage with our exhibition, performance, dance and residency programmes throughout the year. 

In the Picture Dementia Friendly Gallery Programme We invite people with dementia and their carers to visit, look and experiment with others in a safe and welcoming environment. These specially designed sessions are facilitated by professional artists. If you are thinking of coming along, you can talk through any ideas, thoughts or concerns with the facilitators before your visit. Service is €10 and includes suitable refreshments. The service is free to Arts for Health participants.
