Where are we? National Sculpture Factory is located on Albert Road, opposite the Elysian Tower at the start of the South City Link Road, Cork. Our building looks like this:
The Factory is open Monday to Friday, 9.30am–5pm. However, it is always a good idea to check before you visit. The easiest way to find out if we are available to host a visit is to phone or email in advance. You can email us on info@nationalsculpturefactory.com, or call us on 021 4314 353 to speak to a member of staff. We also open at other times for special events such as Culture Night or Heritage Day. You can find out what’s on, and whether you need to book by visiting the Events page of our website
To help you orientate yourself here is a floor plan National Sculpture Factory is in an industrial warehouse, so you walk straight into a large, airy industrial space with a high ceiling. This is the Factory. It is lit by halogen lights. There is also a lot of natural light coming in from the roof and the windows. On immediate entry to the Factory you will see our mezzanine area that houses our meeting room, technical manager’s office and canteen.
We want everyone to have a positive experience when they visit National Sculpture Factory, so if you have any other questions, or suggestions for how we could improve this guide or make the factory more accessible, please email us on info@nationalsculpturefactory.com or call us on 021 4314353 to speak to a member of staff and we will be happy to help.
