The Blasket Centre tells the story of island life, subsistence fishing, and farming, traditional life including modes of work and transport, home life, housing, and entertainment. The Centre details the community’s struggle for existence, their language and culture, and the extraordinary literary legacy they left behind- classics such as ‘The Islandman’, ‘Twenty Years A-Growing’ and ‘Peig’. As this site is managed by the OPW, school tour visits are permitted free of charge provided certain conditions are met.
