An inclusive space for creativity inside an iconic piece of Dublin history

We want everyone to feel welcome at Windmill Lane Recording Studio. Being a protected structure, our art deco building has its quirks but we’re always finding ways to make it more accessible and comfortable for every visitor.

We’re proud of our space, its history, and the creativity it inspires, and we’re committed to making it open to everyone. Please reach out if you’d like to visit, record, or learn more about our accessibility efforts.

If you have any questions or specific requirements, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
