TRACTON ARTS & COMMUNITY CENTRE... A JEWEL IN THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY

Tracton Arts & Community Centre is located in beautiful, rural surroundings near the village of Minane Bridge, County Cork. It offers a broad range of facilities in a magnificently restored and extended old school house including conference room facilities and a theatre. Hosting a range of activities to suit young and old, passive or active, the community centre has become the heart of local community life; from exercise classes to art classes, and meetings for mothers & toddlers to activities for the retired. The attached Inkwell Theatre has hosted a wide variety of shows; from local, amateur drama groups and choirs through to international performers such as the Vanbrugh Quartet, Luka Bloom and Mick Flannery.
​
The community centre comprises two large rooms suitable for e.g. sports classes, parties and meetings, and a small theatre; a modern venue with a modular stage, full sound and lighting equipment, a film projector and screen. With the stage packed away it becomes a flexible, airy space suitable for a variety of activities and events.

​Outside the grounds are being thoughtfully landscaped, there is a large car park, a running track of almost 400m and a purpose built bread & pizza oven.

​Tracton Arts & Community Centre is delighted, and excited, to announce that, towards the end of 2023, a lift was installed in the entrance hall.
​
95% of the cost to buy and install the lift was funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development, and we are very proud that our Community Centre, and all the wonderful activities and events happening there, will be more accessible for all in future.

The Knocknamanagh Old School Story...

Picture
From a ruin... 

Picture
...to a modern community centre and theatre.
​

The building that is now Tracton Arts & Community Centre is a rare surviving example in Ireland of a two-storey Georgian National School, and is on the Register of Protected Structures (ref-Cork County Council RPS 00662). Threatened with demolition by Cork County Council in 2003, it was acquired by Tracton Community Council in 2006, and a specific committee (KOST - Knocknamanagh Old School Trust) was established to oversee  the restoration and development.
