Conferences, Think Tanks, Launches, Workshops, and More…

From meetings that mean business to book launches and award ceremonies – Youghal is perfectly placed to host your important gathering or special event.  Our town has two unique and nationally-recognised venues – St Mary’s Collegiate Church and The Mall Arts Centre – both of which welcome the creative arts as well as commercial events such as book launches and product launches.

St Mary’s Collegiate Church

Since its foundation in the 13th century, St Mary’s Collegiate Church has been the beating heart of Youghal and is one of the most beautiful and important medieval buildings in Ireland.

The Church is renowned for its magnificent architecture, 14th century oak roof structure and fascinating plaques and effigies – and here the past blends perfectly with the needs of your modern event. The Church’s excellent acoustics make it ideal for book launches, product launches, readings, recitals and awards ceremonies.

The Space

The church is a 250-seater venue with a mobile stage which can be specifically constructed to suit individual preferences. There is also a private room (the vestry) which can be used by clients, before and during any event.

St Mary’s is happy to accommodate your bespoke requirements as far as possible.
