St Peters will be reopening our doors on Monday 10th May 2021!

Stop by for a coffee and explore our exhibition of the Burning of Cork – Cork 1920.

Open Monday to Saturday 10.30am – 4pm. Entry is Free of charge!

Cork’s past is full of stories of hope in the face of adversity, and of people working together to overcome all kinds of challenges. We’re looking forward to welcoming you and to capturing your imagination with our state-of-the-art exhibition that gives new insights into a period which was to alter significantly the landscape of Cork city militarily and politically and which ultimately led to the creation of the Irish Free State. The people, events, and history have been combined and are all interwoven to create a cohesive and powerful history of Cork’s tragic past that captures the essence of that period, not through the cold light of day, but by bringing to life the very embers that destroyed our beautiful city in 1920. Some audio visual elements may not be available but we have alternative viewing options.
