Project Overview:

County Council with the support of Failte Ireland are currently in the process of delivery of the Carlow Town Destination Town Projects. The project involves four elements which come together with the development of a tourist hub at Carlow College/Visual Centre for Contemporary Art, to animate the area and encourage local festivals & events, and to draw visitors to the ‘Cultural Quarter’ and increase dwell time with an interactive story board and Public Realm improvements. This will be achieved by:

  • A Day and Night Visitor Orientation Experience to connect the tourist attractions within the Town Centre with interpretation boards at each site, telling the story of each area and linking them together in a cohesive way
  • A Visitor Orientation Plan, welcome signage and directional signage to the tourist hub from all entry points to Town, including Train/Bus Stations
  • Public Art Project along the Orientation Experience to improve the look of vacant/derelict buildings
