Siamsa Tíre

Vibrant theatre and arts centre in the heart of Tralee, Co. Kerry. #1 of 45 things to do in Tralee on TripAdvisor!

Siamsa Tíre, The National Folk Theatre of Ireland, celebrates and sustains Irish folk culture through the arts. From our venue in Tralee, North Kerry, we facilitate the creative exploration of Irish folk arts and culture through in-house productions, co-productions, residencies and commissions across art forms and artistic genres; we nurture and share the skills of traditional Irish music, song, d

ance and folk theatre through classes, workshops, training and showcases, and we warmly welcome communities to gather and enjoy a varied programme of exhibitions and events as Kerry's premier live entertainment venue. Our programme is shaped by the Celtic Calendar, following the seasons from Samhain to the Winter Solstice and Imbolc to the Spring Equinox with our programme of local and national guests including comedy, music, opera, theatre, dance and children’s events, moving from Bealtaine to the Summer Solstice and Lughnasa to the Autumn Equinox with our annual in-house Festival of Folk with signature performances from the community cast of the National Folk Theatre.

😂 NO PRESSURE... but Gearóid Farrelly is back at Siamsa Tíre!

After surviving hospital stays, a sick cat AND a nerve-wracking stint on Dancing with the Stars, Gearóid has plenty to talk about. 👀

His new show No Pressure takes on the chaos of modern life, self-care and learning to embrace the imperfections, all with his trademark wit.

And if you need convincing...

“Bloody hilarious” Sarah Millican
