This is defintely a brilliant local theatre with a great mix of high value performances at affordable prices. I used to volunteer there for a year or so as usher and got to see the broad variety. It’s a mix of music, theatre, talks from either international renowned artists, irish art and local schools. I always found the standard very good and was never disappointed. On Mondays they use it as a cinema with mainly rather unusual, non-mainstream movies.

One of the best things to happen to Dun Laoghaire the Pavillion theatre has truly become the centre for the arts in the area. Attracting an amazing array of shows and acts the theatre always has something interesting going on and their Seasonal brochure is a must have in order to stay in touch. Ive seen a bit of everything here, from musical performances, to comedy gigs, talks and of course plays. The sound and the atmosphere is excellent. They have a fantastic stage that is at ground level with tiered seating. The Lighting and sound is excellent and up there with the best. Really do recommend visiting this place if you are here for a weekend, or if you live in the area and haven’t tried it out yet. Also, never seems to expensive either… which is nice.

The last time I went to Pavillion was during the DL festival. My mate had won free tickets to this African roots gig. Naturally, the tickets being free, we assumed it would be shit and spent the day wandering around all the brilliant, equally free, street performances. How wrong we were. Strolling in with two songs left we found the band on the dancefloor, the crowd on stage, the walls heaving and everyone getting down in a frenzy of funky. It’s a funny feeling, knowing you probably just missed the best gig you’ll ever attend. Still, they were a great two songs.
