About
The Watergate Theatre, located on Parliament Street in the heart of Kilkenny, is Kilkenny's civic theatre, having opened its doors in 1993. We have a year round programme of local, national and international theatre, opera, live music, comedy, youth events, workshops and much more. Our 324 seater theatre is complemented by our upstairs gallery and bar space, serving wines, teas, coffees and snacks during show time. Our upstairs gallery space is also used locally for launches and receptions. Still to come in 2015 we're looking forward to welcoming Opera Theatre Company back to Kilkenny with this year's Kilkenny Arts Festival, we'll be joined by a host of country music stars along with Irish artists Declan O'Rourke, Brian Kennedy and more.
