Where it all began in Dublin.

Step into the original home of The Irish House Party – a unique and unmissable experience right in the heart of Dublin. Born out of a revolt by top Irish musicians against the clichéd and commercial, this show celebrates Irish music and dance in its purest, most entertaining form. Now a hit touring theatre show across the UK and beyond you can still catch us in our beautiful 18th century townhouse in Dublin – where it all began. Enjoy an evening of unforgettable music, dance and comedy in an intimate authentic setting. A delicious pre show dinner option is also available.

This group of Irish musicians (and amazing dancer) bring the fullest experience of traditional Irish music with all the passion and love the music deserves. They engage with the audience with the warmth and gracious hospitality that Irish people have long been famous for. If you want to experience a night of authentic performance go see them whenever they are playing.

We just hope they find their way to Newfoundland.

Best night of the trip. Super fun interactive way to experience classic Irish music.
Went with my husband and 18 y old daughter to the performance of Irish House Party last night. We absolutely loved every minute of the evening. The musicians were amazing and we were blown away by dancer Roisins extraordinary moves performing traditional Irish dance. The venue has very charming atmosphere that fits perfectly with the wonderful, Irish Folk songs. Thank you all for your outstanding performance, fun and warm presence. Highly recommend!

At last an Irish music and dance show in Dublin without the clichés that usually follow. Not a flat cap, twee costume or waistcoat in sight but instead, incredibly talented musicians and dancers bringing to you the sound and fun of Ireland.
