National Concert Hall
Ireland’s main concert hall beside Iveagh Gardens, with orchestral concerts, live film scores and a strong family and baby-friendly programme.
About
Large city-centre concert hall beside Iveagh Gardens with a main auditorium and smaller rooms that host orchestral concerts, film screenings with live score, family shows and relaxed “Bring Along a Baby” recitals. Families usually come for weekend matinees, seasonal events like Christmas films with orchestra, or family concerts where presenters talk kids through the music. The building feels formal but staff are used to school groups, prams and excited kids, and there’s space in the foyer to meet friends before and after. It suits school-age children who can sit through a concert, with special events designed for babies and younger listeners.
