onal and international events (music, theatre, talks, festivals, dance, film, comedy, and visual arts), we also provide a welcoming space for community groups, families, and vulnerable members of society to meet and access the arts. In 2022 we celebrated 21 years in operation presenting over 300 performances and 9 visual arts exhibitions from local, national, and international artists as well as over 55 community groups. We endeavour to remove hindrances that prevent people from accessing the arts, support Clare artists so they can continue to create artistic works, and provide a space for community groups to meet.IN 2019, GASP (glór Arts for Schools Programme) helps over 1800 schoolchildren annually access the arts by reducing some of the financial obstacles in attending daytime performances at glór through subsidising tickets and transportation costs.

LIMITED TICKETS REMAINING

After selling out her entire 2025 tour — including Edinburgh Fringe, Galway International Arts Festival, and major Irish theatre dates — Aoife Dunne brings her acclaimed debut Good Grief (★★★★ – Chortle) on an extended 2026 run due to phenomenal demand.

A rising force in Irish comedy and storytelling, Aoife blends humour, heartbreak and razor-sharp insight as she explores loss, finds connection and brings to life the strange and hilarious ways we survive what we never thought we’d face.

Mixing stand-up, theatrical storytelling and moments of profound emotional truth, Good Grief has been praised by audiences and critics alike for its warmth, wit and knockout performance.

This is a comedy show like no other, that will make you laugh, cry and leave feeling joyfully alive.

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.

Founded in 1951 to halt the decline of traditional Irish Music and Song, Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is now a worldwide movement with 450 branches spread across 22 countries.

Through words and music, song and dance ‘An Traidisiún Beo’ will explore the history of Comhaltas in Clare from the first branch in Tulla in 1954, through sessions and ceilis to County Fleadhs and Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, saluting the musicians and members, singers and dancers and the generations of musical families who all form part of ‘The Living Tradition’.

This concert will feature a remarkable line-up of musicians and singers including Francis Droney (Concertina); Áine Droney (Fiddle); Ann Kirrane (Concertina, Vocals); Seamus Bugler (Accordian); Martin Breen (Piano); Mark Donnellan (Accordian); Emer Coughlan (Concertina, Harp); John Kelly (Fiddle); Charlie le Brun (Flute); Johnny Kelly (Fiddle) & Cathy Potter Kelly (Harp); Liam Jones (Vocals/Guitar); Gereldine Cotter (Piano); Cillian Boyd (Flute/Pipes) Maebh Boyd (Fiddle); Blackie O’Connell (Pipes) and many more.

⭐ON SALE TOMORROW AT 10AM⭐Jarlath Regan 2027: Craic Pot

Sat 26 June | 8pm | 2027

A brand new standup show from ‘yer man off instagram’ coming you way in 2027.

Ireland’s favourite comedian/Mammy translator, Jarlath Regan is back on the road with a brand new standup show for 2027, Craic Pot.

After selling out theatres across Ireland and around the world, Regan returns with his sharpest, funniest and most relatable show yet. Known for his viral daily clips and pitch-perfect observations of Irish life, Craic Pot sees Jarlath diving headfirst into the unrelenting lunacy of modern living — from family life and social awkwardness to that uniquely Irish ability to find humour in absolutely everything.

Packed to the gills with brand new material, Craic Pot is a masterclass in storytelling, packed with razor-sharp standup, ridiculous real-life moments and the kind of laugh-out-loud honesty that has made Regan a household name.
