About the Centre

Ardfert Community Centre is in the heart of Ardfert village and serves the public of Ardfert and beyond.

The Centre comprises a large multi-purpose hall, meeting rooms, kitchen, laundry, DIY & grass cutting service, a day-care Centre for senior citizens and Little Voyagers Childcare. Located at The Ardfert Recreation Centre (The ARC) we have an AstroTurf , phase 1 of a planned multi-phase community sports facility.

We also manage and maintain the Fair Green.

We receive funding from the HSE to run our Senior Citizens day-care service.

We are grateful for the grants received from Pobal, Dept. of Tourism and Sport, NEWKD and Kerry County Council. These grants have allowed us to improve our facilities and services.
