Welcome to Connemara Marble Visitor Centre the home of Connemara marble one of Irelands oldest indigenous Industries. The visitor centre was opened by Ambrose Joyce in 1965 and is celebrating 50 years in our Moycullen premises. We are the owners of two Connemara marble quarries which are located in the heart of Connemara known as “Joyce country "

Our Company is a Family Business and visitors to our centre will meet with 3 generations of the Joyce family. During the summer season we offer guided tours of the marble jewellery factory where we explore the geology and heritage of Connemmara marble and view silversmiths and craftsmen cutting and polishing the forty shades of green.

  • A great stop for some solid gifts, you know, marble related gifts. Very pleasantly surprised by the informational tour that we got. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, can't say enough good things. Be careful and/or quick if you need to dash across the road for a bathroom stop.
  • Visited well out of season so only shop open on knocking the door. Very knowledgable mother and daughter team making beautiful pieces of jewellery. Splendid range of pieces to suit all ages and pockets Bought two sets of necklace and earrings, with help to match as closely as possible. Not inexpensive but lovely quality. Drinks coasters very good buy packaged in sets of however many you wish. Lots of quirky novelty pieces Hope to visit when fully open for an outdoor tour. Highly recommended
  • I enjoyed our tour stop. Great little museum across the way, wonderful smell of peat, and quick but interesting discussion of the marble. Of course you can spend tourist bucks here too, you don't have to, but you can. Nice stuff too.
  • Great family-run place. I was afraid that this was a "tourist trap", but couldn't be more wrong. The Joyce family runs a great place where talented men and women make beautiful pieces of jewelry and other items from marble that they mine. The folks couldn't be nicer or more welcoming
  • Beautiful jewellery and gifts. The short talk on Connemara Marble was really interesting
