Sirius Arts Centre & Old Yacht Club Restoration Project
Built in 1854 as the clubhouse for the Royal Cork Yacht Club — the oldest yacht club in the world — this Anthony Salvin-designed building sits on land donated by James Smith Barry of nearby Fota House. Now home to the Sirius Arts Centre, a community-focused arts organization, the Old Yacht Club is a cherished piece of Irish history in need of care. A three-phase conservation program, supported by the Irish Government, is currently underway to restore and preserve its original architectural details. Your donation will help protect this landmark for generations to come.
