The Tinahely Courthouse was built in 1843 and served as a working Courthouse until the early 19^th Century. After its use as a courthouse, it fell into disrepair but was restored as a Centre for Arts, Culture and Heritage in January 1996.

The Courthouse Arts Centre celebrates its 30^th Anniversary in 2026 as a venue offering comprehensive artistic and outreach programmes in an atmospheric and intimate space, hosting a wide variety of multi-disciplinary arts events and workshops.

Our programme includes, Theatre, Dance, Music, Film, Visual Arts, Comedy, Literature, and an Education/Outreach programme.
