VISITOR INFORMATION
Musgrave Park stadium is the home of rugby in Cork and a 30 minute walk from
the city centre or a short bus journey on the 203 which leaves St. Patrick
Street approximately every 20 minutes. Bear in mind that city buses take
cash/coin and LEAP card only (it’s not possible to tap a debit card once on board).
Live at the Marquee is situated in the Munster Show Grounds, a 25 minute easy/flat
walk from the city centre and within walking distance of lots of hotels,
guesthouses, hostels and B&Bs. Shuttle buses operate from the city centre
on gig nights. It’s also possible to park in the show grounds but you must
purchase parking from Ticketmaster online in advance.

Cycling is also an option with much of the way to both venues serviced by bike
lanes. Despite Cork’s reputation is a hilly city, the routes to both venues happen
to be completely flat.
Check out our Stay section for accommodation options in the city as well as an
array of excellent cafés, restaurants and pubs in our Food & Drink section.

is a 5 minute walk from the Live at the Marquee arena on the way from the city
centre. Most stalls open until 7/7.30pm making it a great location to grab some
grub on the way to a gig.
