The CIE Hall was established in 1860 to provide a central focal point within the community and to animate a comprehensive range of educational, sporting, social and cultural programmes for the benefit of its members and the local community.
The Works Festival is partnering with Rascals Brewing Company for the event. The festival organisers are Dylan Henvey, Adam Kelly and Danny Kilmartin.
“Dublin is a real hub for creativity across all disciplines, but not everybody gets a chance to be seen and heard, which is why The Works Festival was created. We want to shine a light our city’s artistry and undying independent spirit, all built around a venue that was once an important centre of our country’s infrastructure. It’s in the name – we want to showcase the whole works.”
Dylan Henvey
“It is great for a new arts and music festival to be happening right on our doorstep in Inchicore. The ethos of The Works, celebrating the spirit of independence and providing an opportunity for DIY artists based right here in the city, really made us want to get involved. It’s bound to be a great night for everyone.”
Joe Donnelly, Marketing Manager Rascals.
