The Yeats Building, Hyde Bridge, F91 DVY4 is right in the heart of Sligo. It is on the banks of the beautiful Garavogue river and just around the corner from O’Connell Street, the main street in Sligo.

Getting to Sligo

You can take the train to Sligo direct from Dublin Connolly Street station. The journey takes three hours. Dublin is the only city offering a train service to Sligo. Sligo McDiarmada train station is very close to Sligo town and on foot, the Yeats Building is 15 minutes from the station. Visit Irish Rail for timetables and to book tickets.

Buses also travel between Dublin and other main cities. Travel time varies. The buses arrive at Sligo Bus Station, which is next door to the train station. Visit Bus Éireann for timetables and to book tickets.

Taxis are available from both the bus and train stations.

And I shall find some peace there,
for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning
to where the cricket sings
