Ahead of the upcoming tourism season, the Blasket Centre will reopen on Thursday, 7th of March from 10am.

The Blasket Centre re-opened on June 28th 2022 after a major refurbishment. Fáilte Ireland, the Office of Public Works and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, have together invested €2.9 million into the Centre. The project includes a total transformation of the Centre’s exhibitions to deliver an authentic, and imaginative re-telling of the story of the Blasket islands, their rich heritage and their literature which is of national and international significance. The spectacular clifftop viewing platform is also open. OPW guide services operate on the Great Blasket.
With stunning views of the wild Atlantic coast and islands at the halfway point of the Slea Head Drive, the Blasket Centre is a fascinating heritage and cultural centre/ museum, honouring the unique community who lived on the remote Blasket Islands until their evacuation in 1953.
