Festival Information
Mark your calendars!
The 2026 Cork Lifelong Learning Festival will be from April 22nd to April 29th.
Thank you for joining the Cork Lifelong Learning Festival 2025!
The Cork Lifelong Learning Festival has now finished, and we want to say a big thank you to everyone who took part.
Over 420 free events were held across Cork City from April 2nd to April 9th. People of all ages and backgrounds joined in workshops, talks, tours, and fun activities. It was great to see so many people learning new things and enjoying themselves.
The festival’s motto is "Investigate, Participate & Celebrate", and that’s exactly what happened. From libraries to parks, and community centres to museums, learning was everywhere.
We hope you had a great time and discovered something new. If you have any feedback or ideas for next year, we’d love to hear from you - info@corklearningcity.ie
All events are free & accessible to everyone.
Learning is promoted as fun with events including performances, debates, taster sessions, tours, displays and demonstrations. These free events take place right across Cork in a variety of venues indoors and out; including libraries, museums, community centres, parks, sports grounds, private businesses and in Cork's green spaces.
