⛪ That’s it for the 2026 season at St. Audoen’s Church Visitor Centre.
Last day of the season will be Wednesday the 4th November (last admission 12:30).
⛪ It has been a very busy year: Culture Date with Dublin8, Liberties Festival, Heritage Week, Culture Night and Open House Weekend were once again big highlights!
⛪ We are happy to say that during this season we had more visitors than in 2025!
The final number of visitors in 2025 was 45.010 from 112 countries.
This year our number of visitors is over 46.000 from 140 different countries, since April!
Thank you for joining our tours and talks over the 2026 season!
Our online and in-person reviews have been glowing, so a hearty ‘thank you’ to our kind visitors, but now we’re looking forward to a very well-earned rest : )
⛪ We want to acknowledge Canon Mark Gardner and the congregation of St. Audoen’s Parish Church for generously giving us access to their half of the building and for allowing us the use of their facilities. A Service of Eucharist in the parish church continues every Sunday at 10am throughout the year.
⛪ We don’t know when the visitor centre will open again in the Springtime, but as 2027 will be the European Year of the Normans, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll be here to celebrate - keep an eye on our Heritage Ireland webpage for updates.
⛪ Please note also that our telephone, email and social media accounts are not monitored while the visitor centre is closed.
