Sustainability
We care about the environment. Siamsa Tíre is the first theatre in Ireland to achieve Creative Green Certification – the only international environmental certification scheme that’s designed specifically for the creative and cultural industries.
Since 2017, work has been done to increase energy efficiency and reduce dependency on fossil fuels at the venue. The building has been insulated. An air-to-water heating system was fitted. Photovoltaic panels were installed on the roof of the building. And as much lighting as possible has been converted to LED. We have also cut our waste to landfill by 50% with our recycling practices. Efforts are ongoing to develop and implement even more environmentally friendly policies.

Location
Siamsa Tíre is located at the heart of Kerry, in the county’s capital town of Tralee surrounded by the town park. Only a short drive from Kerry Airport, it is also easily directly accessed by rail and road.
It’s set against the stunning backdrop of the Slieve Mish Mountain range and Tralee Bay. It’s on the world-famous Wild Atlantic Way, surrounded by that ocean’s breathtakingly beautiful coastline.
Nearby highlights include Fenit Lighthouse, Black Rock, the Maharees, Banna Strand, and Blennerville Windmill. The Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry are only short drives away.
With its rugged mountains, incredible coastline, and rich cultural heritage, Kerry has long been known as the home of Irish tourism. It’s no wonder its known as the Kingdom. Siamsa Tíre is one of the jewels in its crown. To find out more about hiring a function room, using the theatre as a conference venue, or renting out the entire space, contact us today.
