ABOUT
K WORKS
Located in the old Kinsale library, on Short Quay, this bright, welcoming space is ideal for remote workers, local startups, solopreneurs, and anyone who values that communal entrepreneurial spirit.
Some of the most successful business people in Ireland live here, and some of the youngest with the brightest ideas for the future. So we are bringing them together, for the benefit of all, to build an enterprise network, and support your work in every way possible.
We’re here to help you thrive
Originally the library for the town of Kinsale, Future Kinsale undertook the ambitious idea to repurpose the space into a community hub. Over the course of 2 years, funding was secured, contracts drafted, spaces designed until the opening in November 2024.
