We are now live with two new surveys! Get involved in the conversation on the future of the Oh Yeah Music Centre and Friends of Louchmacrory's plans to develop their facilities.

Oh Yeah Music Centre Engagement Survey

Oh Yeah is a dedicated music hub that uses music as a catalyst for change through music heritage and tourism, education and learning, music creation, talent development, outreach, performance, practice and skills development. It's an award winning shared safe space for all.

Unfortunately the centre is at risk. Have your say on the future of the centre.

Friends of Loughmacrory Community Consultation

As Friends of Loughmacrory plan ahead to develop their facilities we’d love to hear your thoughts on the proposals for the development of the ‘old pitch’. The project will look to bring the site into local community ownership and lead the development of a multi-use community co-designed site.

Share your thoughts on the direction of the plans.
