Audio Guide of Waterford County Museum

The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, and closed on Sundays and Mondays. It is located in the old Workhouse on Spring Street, Dungarvan; you can get there by car via the N25 or by local bus. More details are available on its official website.

Admission costs €5 for adults, €4 for students and seniors, and is free for children under 12. No advance booking is required, but check for promotions on the website.

It is recommended to allow 1 to 2 hours for a full visit, exploring the exhibitions at a relaxed pace. If you use an audio guide, you may want to stay a little longer to take in all the information.

Located in the former Workhouse from 1841, the museum tells the story of County Waterford, including the Great Irish Famine and local life. It is a cultural treasure that preserves fascinating artifacts and stories from the region.

Spring and summer, from May to September, are ideal thanks to the good weather, which pairs well with a walk around Dungarvan. Go in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy natural light in the exhibitions.

The museum has partial wheelchair access on the ground floor, with limited lift access; contact them in advance at +353 58 21100 to make arrangements. It is not fully accessible on all floors due to the historic building.

Nearby you will find Dungarvan Harbour, Dungarvan Castle, a 5-minute walk away, and Clonea Beach. Explore the Blue Flag beach for a full day out in the area.

Wear comfortable shoes for the historic building, download the audio guide in English from IAudioguia for a richer experience as you explore, and combine your visit with a local coffee afterward. Call +353 58 21100 if you have questions.
