Galway Hotel Guide - Druid Theatre hotels in Galway, Ireland.

Druid Theatre, founded in 1975 by a group of graduates from the National University of Ireland, was Ireland’s first professional theatre company based outside Dublin. The theatre company has been located in the Mick Lally Theatre in the heart of Galway since 1979. When the Druid Theatre Company first moved to its location on Quay Street, it was an abandoned and run-down part of town. Since then, the area around Quay Street has grown to become one of the busiest and most visited areas of the city.

As well as being home to the Druid Theatre Company, which tours around Ireland, the Mick Lally Theatre houses many other events. Throughout the year, the theatre hosts music, comedy, talks and readings. It’s also occupied by other touring theatre companies, from Ireland and beyond, and is the base for various festivals. It’s worth a little research beforehand to see what will be on during your visit.

Basing your trip to Galway City around a visit to the Druid Theatre Company’s home theatre places you right in the heart of the city. This area has now become one of the most exciting parts of the city, with plenty of places for great eats and independent shopping within easy reach.
