Adare Community Hall

The Adare village community hall is an iconic land mark that is centrally located at the upper end of the Main Street, at the junction of the Rathkeale and Askeaton roads. The facility was designed by renowned English architect, William Clifford Smith, in 1909 under the financial patronage of Windham Thomas Wyndham Quin, the 4th Earl of Dunraven, a wealthy landowner who lived in nearby Adare Manor

. Construction was completed in 1911 and Lord Dunraven bequeathed the facility to “the people of Adare”. It was constructed with a dormer two story front facade building, complete with well crafted cut and dressed limestone, as well lean-to dormer windows, symmetrical hipped roof and gables. Two internal meeting rooms are located on the ground and first levels. An interconnecting large hall building, complete with a performance stage, toilets, storage rooms and a kitchen, is located at the rear of the front dormer building. The facility is held in trust for use as a versatile venue for the local community to meet for organised events. A volunteer committee is responsible for managing regular events, as well as finance, cleaning and maintenance activities. The facility is available for class activity events, group or personal bookings and for meetings throughout the year. Phone: 087-6732071 (Tom O'Keeffe - Secretary & PRO) for further details.
