The Rock of Cashel
The Rock of Cashel has been undergoing restoration works since 1974. The continuing works have been ongoing since the 1970s. Between the previous works on the Hall of the Vicar’s Choral and the works on Cormac's Chapel, the Rock of Cashel has effectively remained covered in scaffolding for 22 of the past 40 years. The scaffolding came down from the site in 2017 and for the first time in 40 years, the Rock of Cashel will be seen in its full glory from all sides.
OPW is set to start work in late 2017 on a new extension to The Rock of Cashel to incorporate a new glass structure visitor centre.
The Auditorium
The Ruins of the Rock of Cashel
Usually, OPW does not give permits for artists to draw, paint or photograph up at The Rock of Cashel, but we have applied for 20 permits for artists through OPW for Tipperary artists to apply through Cashel Arts Festival to draw, paint, photograph or film, on Saturday, 23rd September. This is also aimed to highlight to tourists visiting The Rock of Cashel that the festival is taking place and to entice them to attend other events during their time in Cashel.
The Plaza
The Cathedral Church of St John the Baptist, John Street
The Chapterhouse, formerly The Bolton Library
Dominic’s Abbey
Dominic’s Abbey is not usually open to the public and therefore is a very exclusive venue, which we are very fortunate OPW allow us to use under strict terms of use.
Cashel Library
Halla na Féile
