Mount Carmel Concerts

Loughrea has a new performance space, in the shape of the beautiful and historic Mount Carmel Chapel.

With a uniquely intimate setting accommodating just 70 patrons and featuring remarkable acoustics, all of the Mount Carmel Concerts series will be very special indeed. We’re working to bring you the very best artists from home and abroad, and also to support those artists in providing an opportunity for them to showcase their talent here in the West of Ireland.

Our website is here; https://mountcarmelconcerts.ie and you can sign up there for our newsletter outlining upcoming events.

We launch on the 13th of March with the legendary Sean Keane and tickets are on sale now here;

We are grateful for your support. This is not a commercial venture, it’s a tiny venue. Our ambition here is just to make each concert financially viable so that we can host the next one, and hopefully stage life enriching events over the coming years.
