About the Firkin Crane
The Firkin Crane has gone through many guises since it was erected as part of the Butter Market in the 19th century: the current rotunda building has been a dedicated cultural centre since the 1980’s.
The Firkin Crane continues to be a focal point for dance in Ireland:
We support the practice and performance of all forms of dance.

We initiate innovative partnerships at local, national and international level.
We are actively involved with the local community in creating valuable social platforms.
