Cork City Hall
Cork City Hall is one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks. The current building was opened in 1936, replacing the original City Hall that was destroyed during the ‘Burning of Cork’ in 1920.
Designed by architects Jones and Kelly and built by the Cork firm Sisks, the foundation stone was laid by Éamon de Valera in 1932. Blending classical and Georgian influences, the building reflects Cork’s rich architectural heritage.
Inside the Building
- A profile of President John F. Kennedy above the main entrance commemorates his 1963 visit to Cork.
- A marble-paved vestibule leads to the grand staircase hall.
- Works by renowned sculptor Séamus Murphy are displayed.
Address: Anglesea Street, Cork, T12 T997, Ireland
Clayton Hotel
Located in the heart of Cork’s city centre, Clayton Hotel overlooks Cork City Hall and River Lee. With water moving gently beside us and the vibrant life of the city just beyond the doors, it’s an ideal setting for a congress devoted to embodiment, presence and relational depth.
Our workshop and event spaces are filled with natural daylight, thanks to expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that keep us connected to the rhythms of the outside world. Soft carpets underfoot support grounded movement, circle work and reflective practice, while the spacious layout allows for the flexibility that body psychotherapy so often requires.
