Triskel Arts Centre

I absolutely love this place for its excellent selection of movies ( I’m sending my applause and gratitude for that ) and the outstanding atmosphere. The sound quality feels truly unique, making the experience even more special. However, I do have one major issue with this cinema—the seating is incredibly uncomfortable. It's almost impossible to sit through an entire movie without shifting around in discomfort. While I understand the intention behind keeping the original church benches as part of the cinema's charm and history, they can be quite challenging to endure for the duration of a film. In fact, there have been times when the seating was the only reason I decided not to go to a movie here. It’s a shame because everything else about this cinema is wonderful, but the seating definitely detracts from the overall experience.

Havent been to triskel in years. Used to be an old haunt of mine and hope to return home soon and visit again. A fantastic venue. Excellent selection of films. Fantastic coffee bar. Such fond memories

Great venue for performances. I love the atmosphere the converted church gives the place. Makes it a more intimate feel. Came here during Cork Jazz Festival and it was a wonderful concert.

Staff always lovely and friendly. I was here this time for the Cork International Film Festival and I also visited the gallery space. Glad to have time to visit and although the benches are not comfortable to sit down after a while, the entire space was comfortable temperature wise

Beautiful old church turned into a theatre. Cushioned church pew seating, fyi!

Good acoustic practically in any seat in the concert hall and absolutely adorable team there, glad to be here!

Gotta love this place! Very good selection of movies, wish there were more though hehe *hint hint. Anyway 10/10 would recommend to watch a movie at a church. Somehow good that the chairs are not super comfy so you can’t snooze off

Great experience, loved the vibes and the movie, but seats are a bit uncomfortable, so come with comfy clothes

TRISKEL GALLERY The Triskel Art Centre is between homes at the moment, waiting for new venue Christchurch (a beautiful 18th century building) to be restored. At present, it is Music at Jury's and Art in, of all places, the disused Electricity Supply Board substation in Caroline Street. The current exhibition, by Shane Cullen, in Caroline Street, is pretty appropriate to the industrial location, dealing as it does with the "dehumanizing threat inherent in our increasing dependence on technology and counterpointing this with references to individual examples of struggle and endurance". Large scale works such as The Concern of the Warsaw pact (1992) and, very appropriately, Factories Electricity Regulations (1995), are used to make the point. It is even more "industrial" downstairs. I thought I'd walked into a welding shop but instead the flashes and the noise were coming from four simultaneous video works, all by Adham Faramawy (born 1981), a London based artist of Egyptian descent. Perhaps, the Triskel should hold on to the electricity sub-station. Not sure the restored Christchurch would really enhance the presentation of the current exhibitions! http://corkandabout.blogspot.com/
