GETTING HERE
We are delighted to invite you to visit our Arts Centre in the heart of Dublin. The Complex’s exciting programme and calendar of events run alongside bustling and active studios, which bring our old fruit & veg warehouses in Smithfield alive with cultural activities and passionate exchange.
The Complex is a multi-disciplinary arts centre in Dublin City Centre. Based on the edge of Smithfield in the Market Area, situated across from Dublin’s old Victorian Fruit and Vegetable Market on Arran St. East and is just off Capel Street and the Luas line.
The Complex is comprised of two distinct entrances, one for the Gallery and Studios and the second for the main events space, The Depot and The Cooler operated by The Improvised Music Company (IMC) on the second floor.

ACCESSIBILITY
​The Depot at The Complex performance space is accessed through the main lobby on Mary's Abbey, with one flight of stairs. This route may be difficult to access for patrons with mobility issues.

Gender-neutral toilet facilities are available inside The Depot (subject to change by event organisers) and a wheelchair accessible bathroom with baby-changing facilities.

The Cooler is located via the main entrance on Mary's Abbey, but the venue is up two flights of stairs which may cause difficulty for those with mobility issues.

The Gallery is accessed through 21 - 25 Arran St. East and is accessed through a large open shutter without any steps. The Gallery, on occasion, is accessed through a door beside the shutter with one small step; however, the main shutter may be openable for access should this be required (subject to the event organisers' discretion)
