The Birr Theatre and Arts Centre is a stunning purpose-built Victorian theatre which dates back to 1888. It provides a high quality facility and a base for the year-round development of the Arts in Birr and environs.

The theatre was re-energised and brought up to current day 220-seater compliance in the late nineties by a board of volunteers and the Birr Stage Guild, while meticulously maintaining the classic architecture of the theatre.

Community & Events Role:

The Centre always runs an extensive programme of events, including theatre, music, film, dance, and comedy. Key features of the centre’s work include:

• Becoming intrinsically involved in many local festivals, focusing on using the arts to boost local economies all year around.
• Working with many groups and agencies to ensure the arts are as inclusive as possible in the area.
