  A landmark public space in Dublin city centre, Meeting House Square is often described as Ireland’s outdoor living room! This spectacular open-air performance space located in Temple Bar plays host to hundreds of free Temple Bar Cultural Trust events every year. The space is also often used by many of the 50 cultural organisations located in Temple Bar, Dublin’s Cultural Quarter and is an ideal venue for presenting arts and cultural events in an accessible environment to a wide range of audiences.

  Located on the converging axes of several pedestrian routes through Temple Bar this well known space is also home to the famous Temple Bar Food Market every Saturday and a family fun programme during the summer the space is sheltered by a skyline of well known cultural buildings in Dublin.
