Sharing skills for a truly sustainable life.
Common Knowledge is an award-winning, non-profit social enterprise located at the gateway to the Burren, on Ireland’s beautiful Wild Atlantic Way. We share skills in building, making, mending and growing, because we believe that between us all, we have the knowledge needed to create a truly sustainable future. Based on 50 acres, our Centre is a haven for learning, exploring and connection with other people, offering serene accommodation for people and groups.

Faoin Tuath Festival is Back This May Bank Holiday Weekend
If you've been looking for a place to connect with other queer people beyond the city, learn something new, and spend a long weekend immersed in nature, music, and community, this is it. Faoin Tuath brings together practical skill-sharing workshops, talks, live music, traditional sessions, ceilí, film screenings, and shared meals at The Common Knowledge Centre from 1st to 4th May. It's a festival that is presented by Queer Sheds and built around belonging, and we'd love to see you there.
