Siamse Tíre - National Folk Theatre of Ireland
Review
Siamse Tire Theatre & Arts Centre returns for a second outing in my Island of Ireland book, a testament to how highly we rate it here at Top 100 Attractions, and I’m certain you will too. Over the years, I’ve watched this cultural gem evolve from its humble beginnings into one of County Kerry’s most important event venues. The team here are warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the arts, ensuring every visitor feels at home. The programme is impressively diverse, spanning contemporary performances, traditional music, and drama that offers an authentic window into Irish life and heritage. It’s the perfect place to soak up the spirit of the “Kingdom of Kerry,” whether you’re a seasoned theatre-goer or simply curious about Ireland’s cultural heartbeat. Siamse Tire proves, time and again, why it holds such a special place in Kerry’s artistic landscape. Be sure to check their website for upcoming performances.
