Town Hall Theatre, Performance venue in Courthouse Square, Galway, Ireland.
Town Hall Theatre is a performance venue on Courthouse Square in central Galway, offering two separate performance spaces of different sizes. The main auditorium seats around 400 people while the studio space accommodates approximately 50 spectators.
The building was constructed in 1825 as a courthouse designed by the architect Alexander Hay in the neoclassical style. In the 1950s it was converted into a cinema before eventually becoming a theatre.
The venue hosts performances from local and touring artists and serves as a gathering place where the community experiences theatre, music, and dance throughout the year. It plays a key role in Galway's arts calendar and cultural identity.
The location is easily accessible in the city center with performances scheduled throughout most of the year. Check ahead before visiting to confirm what is currently showing and to plan your trip accordingly.
The exterior features architectural details from its original construction period, including a columned entrance portico and distinctive arched windows. These neoclassical elements give the building its striking appearance among the surrounding structures.
