On 3 September 1948, the final meeting of the Enniskillen Board of Guardians took place, bringing more than a century of the workhouse system in Enniskillen to an end.

The introduction of the new National Health Service marked a major change in how health and welfare were provided. Following the closure, the remaining 30 residents, including children, older people and unmarried mothers, were transferred to the workhouse in Armagh.

The Enniskillen site subsequently became a general hospital, before much of the former workhouse was largely demolished in 1964 to make way for the Erne Hospital.

Today, the restored Entrance Block is the principal surviving part of the former Enniskillen Union Workhouse, preserving an important connection to the people who lived, worked and passed through its doors.

AI Meet Up @ The Workhouse

Our next informal AI Meet Up takes place on Monday 7 September, 8pm to 9pm at The Workhouse.

Whatever stage you're at with AI, you're welcome around the table.

You might be using it every day, experimenting with a few tools, wondering how it could support your business, or simply curious about where to begin.

There's no presentation and no set agenda, just an informal hour to share what we're trying, what's working, what's challenging us, and what we're learning along the way.

Come along, grab a coffee and join the conversation.

📅 Monday 7 September
🕗 8pm to 9pm
📍 The Workhouse, Enniskillen
☕ Informal, drop in, everyone welcome

Working for yourself doesn’t mean working alone.

Running your own business can mean making a lot of decisions on your own, but your working day doesn’t have to feel that way.

Sometimes it’s simply good to be around other people who are building something too.

People on similar journeys, figuring things out, sharing experiences, making connections, or just stopping for a coffee and a chat.

At The Workhouse, you can have your own desk, your own work and your own focus, with a community around you when you want it.

Come in. Get some work done. Grab a coffee. Have a conversation.

Your business. Your space. A community around you.

The Paupers Graveyard Famine Memorial in Cornagrade, Enniskillen, serves as a poignant tribute to the lives lost during the Great Famine.

The famine memorial was officially unveiled on 28th August 1995 at a Commemoration Service to mark the 150th anniversary of the famine. The design includes two stone gable walls and a central bronze table with five empty plates, symbolising the extreme scarcity of food during the famine. This evocative imagery captures the overwhelming desolation, despair, and loss experienced during this time.

The memorial is a stark reminder of the significant death toll in Irish workhouses, where one in five deaths during the famine occurred. This was reflected in Enniskillen Workhouse where 2,040 people of the 10,000 who entered the house died between December 1845 - Spring 1849.

Back to it.

The schools are reopening, the summer breaks are coming to an end, and September is just around the corner.

For many of us, this time of year brings a natural reset. A chance to refocus on the work, projects, plans or ideas that have been waiting for our attention.

And sometimes, a change of space is all it takes to get moving again.

Whether you need a desk for the day, somewhere to work more regularly, a room to bring people together, or simply a place to focus and get something over the line, The Workhouse is here.

A workspace. A meeting place. A community.

A place for you.
