Wexford Cinema Club - August Screening
At Wexford Arts Centre · High Street, Wexford, Co. Wexford
At Wexford Arts Centre · High Street, Wexford, Co. Wexford
For one evening a month, Wexford Arts Centre becomes a proper cinema - not a multiplex, but a curated space where the film is chosen with care and the conversation afterwards is half the point. The Wexford Cinema Club brings independent, international, and classic titles to an audience that wants something beyond the mainstream. At €5 a ticket, it is one of the better-value cultural evenings in the south-east, and the format suits anyone who finds regular cinema a little anonymous.
The August screening follows the club’s usual pattern: a film selected from the independent or international catalogue - the kind of title that earns critical attention without necessarily getting a wide Irish release - screened at Wexford Arts Centre’s Cornmarket premises. After the film wraps, there is an informal discussion; you are not expected to perform an opinion, but the room usually has something to say. The Arts Centre has been running since 1974, making it the oldest regional arts centre in the country. The specific film for August is confirmed closer to the date - check the Arts Centre website for the title.
The N11 / M11 connects Wexford to Dublin in under two hours; from Waterford the N25 takes roughly 45 minutes. Irish Rail runs into Wexford station on Redmond Place, a short walk from the town centre, and Bus Eireann serves the town on several intercity routes. The Cornmarket address is central - the Arts Centre sits just off the main quay area. Parking is available at Redmond Square car park and along the quays; street parking in the centre is generally easier by evening.
Wexford town is compact enough to explore on foot before a 7:30pm screening - the quayside, the narrow mediaeval lanes, and the heritage buildings around the Cornmarket itself repay a wander. There is more to see in Wexford and across Co. Wexford.
