Who are the Cultural Companions?
Cultural Companions is a network of adults of all ages interested in arts and culture who attend together as a group.
We are here to provide means to attend cultural and arts events with others around Wexford.
The network is facilitated by Wexford County Council who work with a volunteer to draw up a calendar of events to choose from every three months
· Our Mission ·
To be an open and welcoming community for anyone who would like to attend Arts and Cultural Events together
How it all Works
1. You sign up for free to be a member
2. Receive a calender of events every three months
3. Simply book and pay for one of the listed events you would like to attend
4. On the day of the event, the network will meet before the event
