You’ll find our terms and conditions on our Booking pages – with all the other information you’ll need to know about booking.
We do have waiting lists for sold out concerts. If you get in touch with the office – 027 52788 – we can add you to the list and we’ll phone you if a ticket becomes available.
To avoid disappointment, do keep in mind firstly that we might not get any returns. Secondly, returns can often be at late notice and, in that instance, we will move on to the next person on the waiting list if we don’t get a reply from you.
In addition, if you like living dangerously and are already attending the Festival, you will occasionally get a return ticket for a sold out concert at the very last minute before the concert.
Great to hear! There are a variety of ways you can support the West Cork Chamber Music Festival. Find out more on our Supporter pages.
And do keep coming back to our Festival – we couldn’t produce it without you!
We have several maps of the venues available to you:
All our local venues are within easy walking distance of each other. Note that Bantry House, the furthest, is a 15 minute walk from the Tourist Information Centre on the market square.
We apologise that we can’t find any room for a map in our already-overflowing Brochure.
Bantry House has parking available for visitors just off the main road. You can see it’s exact location on our Venue Map.
In the town itself, street parking is limited to 2 hours, Mon-Sat 9am – 6pm. But there are several free car parks around the town:
Bantry House has convenient parking by the house. Please let us know in advance and we can book you a space for any concerts you are attending.
St Brendan’s Church has disabled parking spaces directly outside. Again, if’s worth booking in with us to be sure you get a space.
There are also disabled parking spaces throughout the town centre, and in the carparks mentioned in the previous FAQ.
But now, the festivals need a home so we can fulfil our ambitions for music and arts events, education, and community activities year-round. We have plans for a world-class arts venue and a Music Education Centre that will drive learning from beginner to elite levels to create the musicians and audiences of the future!
