Youghal CCÉ is 25 years old. Now based in the new, purpose built Brú na Sí centre, the branch is active throughout the year. Classes are provided in a range of instruments including button accordion, tin whistle, flute, fiddle, concertina, banjo and mandolin. The performing group, Ceolta Sí, performs regularly at the centre. Ceolta Sí have also performed extensively around the world.

For the winter, Brú na Sí will host a monthly concert/workshop series.
