The Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse will only open to the public once this year
It’s closed to the public for most of the year.
But locals and tourists alike will have a rare chance to witness the stunning views from inside the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse in April.
Two open days have been permitted by the Old Head Golf Links and Commissioners of Irish Lights to raise funds for the development of the Old Head Signal Tower and Lusitania Museum.
The Open Weekend will take place on Saturday, April 5th and Sunday, April 6th. Due to scheduled restoration work taking place on the lighthouse from April to November, this will be the only opportunity to visit the iconic lighthouse this year.
Shuttle buses will be running from the Old Head Signal Tower to the Old Head Lighthouse throughout the day from 9.30am until 5pm ever half hour across the weekend.

Parking will be available at the Old Head Signal Tower and disabled access to the Lighthouse Grounds is available by request.
There’s no need to pre-book, just show up on the day and tickets are €15 per adult, €40 for a family. Do note however that the event is expected to be busy so arrive early to beat the queues.
The Old Head Café will be open throughout the weekend, with refreshments also available at the Lighthouse Grounds.
