The Centre is a Signature Point on the Wild Atlantic Way, and we are Wild Atlantic Way Ambassadors.
With stunning views of the wild Atlantic coast and islands at the halfway point of the Slea Head Drive, The Blasket Centre is a fascinating heritage & cultural centre/museum honouring the unique community who lived on the remote Blasket Islands until their evacuation in 1953.
The Centre details the community’s struggle for existence, their language and culture, folklore & customs, and their extraordinary literary legacy – with classics such as ‘The Islandman’, ‘Twenty Years A-Growing’ and ‘Peig’.
