Luke Jerram’s sculpture of the Earth was a major hit at Cork Midsummer Festival in 2022, and the British artist looks set to again draw crowds to his latest work at this year’s event. Helios is a spectacular six-metre representation of the Sun that will hang at St Fin Barre's Cathedral during the festival in June. Created to scale, each centimetre of the artwork represents 2,300km of the real Sun’s surface, and features such details as sunspots and solar flares.

The official opening of the Athenaeum takes place at Emmet Place. ‘Athenaeum’ was a name commonly used for libraries or places of study, and the early incarnation of the Opera House hosted lectures, as well as balls and other cultural events. The building later became known as the Munster Hall, and a major refit by O’Flynns builders in 1877 marked its emergence as the Opera House.
