On October 18, 2023 Greywood Arts was hit hard by Storm Babet. Flood waters reached over a metre outside and up to 80cm (32 inches) inside the newly refurbished Coach House Creative Hub.

The Coach House, only opened in May, needs a new heat pump system (€7,500), as well as new doors, skirting boards and toilet cubicles. The resident artists experienced loss of materials and equipment (€8,500). Our log cabin office requires extensive repairs, and office equipment needs replacement. Damage to the artist residency and home of our artistic director will require new doors, flooring, furniture and electronics. 9+ metres of our 250-year old garden wall collapsed, and the garden is looking pretty rough after becoming part of the river for the day.
