Galway
Galway (Irish: Gaillimh) is the county town of County Galway on the west coast of Ireland. It's Ireland's fourth-largest city, with a population in 2024 of 85,000, but its historic centre on the east bank of the River Corrib is compact. Galway is a colourful party town with live music and revellers spilling onto its pedestrianised central street. It's also a base for exploring the scenic surrounding county.

Town Hall Theatre
The THT features plays, music, dance, comedy and of course panto. They run three venues: the main auditorium has only 400 seats, so it's cosy and suits many performances but is a bit small for grand occasions. Studio Space also in the square has 52 seats. Black Box, 500 m north on Dyke Road, has 600 seats and is more suitable for a rock concert.
Box office Mon–Sat 10AM–7:30PM, Sundays an hour before the showBabies under 2 free
