Covid Measures for Re-Opening

In order to safely welcome back our artists, staff and audiences to the building, we have adapted our customer experience. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with these guidelines. We greatly appreciate your support and cooperation.

Since we closed in March 2020, we prepared the building and our staff for re-opening as part of our continued commitment to the well-being of our visitors, staff and community and to help support ongoing efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We are implementing enhanced protocols and procedures that you will notice before and during your visit.

All of our staff have undertaken training to ensure that Siamsa Tíre has received the Kerry County Council Safe Destination Badge and the Fáilte Ireland Covid-19 Safety Charter Accreditation. The COVID-19 Safety Charter is a Government-endorsed initiative that seeks to recognise businesses that are compliant. To be approved for the Safety Charter accreditation, Siamsa Tíre has committed to following the guidelines, terms and conditions of the charter throughout the business. Our customers health and safety is always our number one priority and we hope this acknowledgment offers comfort to our visitors at this time.

Safety Measures
