The Glassworks, known in Irish as An tSeaneaglais, is a performance space in Derry housed in a former 19th-century Georgian church on Great James Street, part of the Culturlann Ui Chanain cultural hub. The room keeps its natural church acoustics and period character, with large stained-glass windows, iron pillars and original floorboards and pews, and is equipped with a comprehensive in-house PA. It was established as a music venue during Derry's UK City of Culture year in 2013 and hosted RTE's Other Voices series in 2013 and 2014.
