To celebrate Cork Harbour Open Weekend Cork County Council offered two family passes each day, during the Open Weekend, to Spike Island*. 

The tickets will include a ferry to Spike and admission to the fort.

The ferry will leave Kennedy Pier, Cobh, regularly from 11AM- 3PM with return ferries available until 6PM on both days.

Don’t worry if you did not win the competition. There are special low prices in place for the Open Weekend. The cost is €5 per adult and €15 per family (1 adult & 3 children or 2 adults & 2 children. Each additional child will cost €3) 

This is an excellent opportunity to experience the rich history which this island has to offer. Children’s entertainment will be provided on both day’s between 12-5 with free guided tours of the island taking place on the hour from 11AM -3PM, departing from the Coffee Shop on Spike Island. The Cobh Animation Team dressed in appropriate period costumes will also be present. All visitors will be able to stroll on the 1.6KM Glascis Walk, a walkway developed around the perimeter of the fort with its unique views of the harbour.
