Come and see the splendour of St. Colman's Cathedral overlooking Cobh. It is an exquisite gem of Early-French decorated Neo-Gothic architecture. Its lofty spire soars to 300' and encases the carillon in its belfrey.
The 49-bell carillon is the only such instrument in this country and is the largest in Ireland or England in terms of number of bells. The total bell weight is 26 tons. It also includes Ireland’s largest bell named St. Colman, 3.6 tons.
Guided tours will be held every afternoon for Heritage Week.
On Sunday 17th of August a recital on the 49-bell carillon will be given by Oisin Dilger, presently pursuing two-year post-graduate studies at the Royal Carillon School in Mechelen, Belgium.
Time 16:30 to 17:30.
On Sunday August 24th a recital will be given by Eddy Marien, a graduate of the Royal Carillon School in Mechelen, Belgium.
Time 16.30 to 17.30
The public can view the instrument being played live on a screen within the Cathedral.
