The ARC Event Centre – Now Open
At last a full size event venue is coming to Cork. The Arc Event Centre at the Cork Docklands.
September 2010 saw the arrival of a creative and innovative answer to Cork major event needs with the installation of one of the world’s most sophisticated temporary structures The Veldeman TFS . With 40,000 square feet this state of the art structure is larger than the main hall of the RDS and is capable of seating up to 5,000 for a concert or conference as well as being flexible enough to host the largest consumer and business exhibitions.
Port of Cork City Marina
The Port of Cork is delighted to announce that the Port of Cork City Marina is now complete and open for business and is located just a 1 minute walk from the Clarion Hotel Cork. The marina provides approximately 180metres of berthage. In early 2010 the Port of Cork was approached by the Clipper Round the World race organising committee and asked to investigate the opportunity of the Clipper fleet coming up to Cork City Quays. With no suitable facilities available at the time, the Port of Cork quickly saw the opportunity to advance a key aspect of the leisure strategy and to provide marina facilities in the heart of Cork City.
