This carefully crafted show has proven to be consistently popular with audiences throughout Ireland, garnering rave reviews at cabaret and theatre venues. Leave the fellas at home and dance and sing the night to the sound of Abba. Complementary drink on arrival!

Sing-along with Goldilocks and The Three Bears. For the first time ever, the much loved Fairy-tale comes to life in on stage in an unforgettable live stage production of song and laughter. Goldilocks and the three bears, Ruff The dog! and Mr Bunny, perform live on stage, in this exciting and fun filled musical production.

***Due to the high demand of tickets for Goldilocks and the Three Bears, we are now putting on a 4pm show on Sunday (6th Dec) with single tickets costing €10 and family tickets costing €30 (4 tickets).***

Looking for the perfect stocking filler? This festive season, we are hosting our very first Traditional Christmas Craft and Food Market. We have an exciting mix of local fine art, design, artisan crafts and delicious homemade foods.

Soak up the atmosphere with live music and carol singing under our Christmas tree and warm up with mulled wine.

The Snowman will be screening downstairs in the Arts Centre every 40 mins from12pm to 4.30. This half-hour film faithfully recreates author Raymond Briggs’ classic children’s Christmas tale, in which a young boy’s snowman magically comes to life and whisks him away to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. The animation is still captivating for both adults and children. Featuring the music of composer Howard Blake, it features one song with lyrics, the hymn-like “Walking in the Air.” A must see this Christmas.

Jack Frost wants to ruin Christmas and only Rudolph can stop him. A lovely festive show for children under 7. Running time 40mins.

After inadvertently wreaking havoc on the elf community due to his ungainly size, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole is sent to the U.S. in search of his true identity.

Buddy was a baby in an orphanage who stowed away in Santa’s sack and ended up at the North Pole. Later, as an adult human who happened to be raised by elves, Santa allows him to go to New York City to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs. Hobbs, on Santa’s naughty list for being a heartless jerk, had no idea that Buddy was even born. Buddy, meanwhile, experiences the delights of New York City (and human culture) as only an elf can. When Walter’s relationship with Buddy interferes with his job, he is forced to re-evaluate his priorities.

Bagatelle, who first formed in 1978, are known for their popular pop hits such as ‘Second Violin’, “Leeson Street Lady” and ‘Summer in Dublin’, which has entered the Irish charts almost every summer since 1980. This is the bands farewell tour and a night not to be missed in Nenagh.

Forgotten is a solo piece of theatre which reveals the interconnecting stories of four elderly people, living in retirement homes and care facilities around Ireland, who range in age from 80 to 100 years old. 1943 was a curious year for this quartet – their lives have never been the same since.

The accordionist has achieved legendary status throughout the world. Sharon Shannon is renowned for her collaborations, not just in Irish traditional music, but through all musical genres. Traditional Irish music is her background but she has been fearless in her musical exploration having defied genres and woven her unique style through country, French-Canadian reggae, hip-hop, dance and classical.
