St. John's Arts and Heritage Centre

St John's is a former Church of Ireland Gothic style church, centrally located in the newly developed town Square. In 1814 the site for this church was presented to the community by Lord Listowel. A Cork architect, named Payne designed it and it was used by the faithful of North Kerry as a place of worship from 1819 until its deconsecration in 1988. The Church of Ireland community and the people of Listowel were anxious to preserve the building and to make it a centre for local cultural activities and heritage. It now houses a theatre, arts and heritage centre, and tourist office. A dressing room was added in 2009. Click Here to visit the St. John's Arts and Heritage Centre website
