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.

Testimonial
Testimonial from Concordia A Cappella Choir who performed at Siamsa Tíre in May 2026
“Working with Siamsa Tíre for our concert earlier this year was a fantastic experience from start to finish. It is a truly unique and memorable venue and it provided the perfect setting for what was a very special evening for our group.
From the initial planning stages through to the event itself, Michelle and the team were incredibly professional, helpful and accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble and their attention to detail and willingness to work with us to create the right experience for our client made the whole process seamless. The support on concert advertisement was second to none, we had the largest audience and all thanks to local advertisement and professional ticket management.
The venue itself was a real highlight. The atmosphere, character and sense of Irish culture it brings to an event are difficult to replicate and our guests were genuinely impressed. The performance was exceptional and created a wonderful “wow” moment for the group – exactly the kind of authentic and memorable experience we look for when designing incentive programmes.
Siamsa Tíre is somewhere we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending to other choirs and performing artists. It offers something very special and different, and the combination of the venue, the performance and the fantastic team behind it makes for an unforgettable experience.”
