Amharclann Ghaoth Dobhair, Irish language theatre in Gweedore, Ireland.
The Amharclann Ghaoth Dobhair features a modern design with 300 seats and hosts regular performances throughout the year in County Donegal's Gaeltacht region.
Opened in 1962 by actress Siobhán McKenna, the theatre became central to preserving Irish language performances through the Aisteoirí Ghaoth Dobhair acting group.
The theatre serves as the primary venue for Irish language productions, pantomimes, and musical performances in northwest Ireland's largest Gaelic-speaking parish.
Located near Mount Errigal, the theatre maintains regular programming with performances primarily in Irish, while offering translation services for non-Irish speakers.
Musicians including Enya and members of Clannad started their careers on this stage, contributing to the international recognition of Gweedore's performing arts.
