Richmond Barracks

Welcome to Richmond Barracks

Richmond Barracks is a building of historical importance located in Inchicore. It is home to a library, garden and cultural workshops and events.

Culture Connects is a year-round programme of cultural activities that celebrate the experiences and interests of the local communities and people. It invites people in Dublin to try out new things. We offer ways for people to make and create together, to share ideas, and connect through culture and conversation. Culture Connects is made by Dublin City Council Culture Company.

Inchicore Library offers a range of adult fiction and non-fiction material, a selection of young adult material and a junior library. It also runs monthly groups and events for adults and kids that are open for anyone to join in. Inchicore Library is run by Dublin City Libraries.

Richmond Barracks is owned by Dublin City Council.
