Cork's Lifelong Learning Festival 2025

Mark your calendars!

The 2025 Cork Lifelong Learning Festival will be from April 2nd to April 9th. 

We are delighted to announce that there will be more than 420 events happening throughout Cork City during the Cork Lifelong Learning Festival from April 2nd to April 9th, 2025. The festival programme is currently in production and will be available from Cork City Hall, Cork City Libraries, and host venues from March 21st. Stay tuned for more updates!

The Cork Lifelong Learning Festival promotes and celebrates learning of all kinds, across all ages, interests and abilities. The festival’s motto is 'Investigate, Participate & Celebrate', and the public can do that by taking part in workshops or classes, watching demonstrations, trying out new skills.

All events are free & accessible to everyone. 

Learning is promoted as fun with events including performances, debates, taster sessions, tours, displays and demonstrations. These free events take place right across Cork in a variety of venues indoors and out; including libraries, museums, community centres, parks, sports grounds, private businesses and in Cork's green spaces.
