Smock Alley Theatre, 1662

Smock Alley Theatre stands on Exchange Street Lower in Temple Bar, Dublin, on the site of a theatre first established in 1662, making it one of the oldest theatre sites in the city. The building later served as a church before being restored for performance.

Today it is a working theatre with an intimate atmosphere, staging drama, new writing, music and other live events across its performance spaces. The Temple Bar location puts it a short walk from Dublin Castle, Christ Church and the Liffey quays. Check the programme and book ahead.
