Ardhowen Theatre 40th Anniversary Celebration
Thursday 10 September 2026 | 6.00pm–9.30pm | Free admission
Join us at Ardhowen Theatre as we celebrate 40 years of theatre, music, performance and community.
Officially opened on 16 May 1986 by playwright Brian Friel, Ardhowen has become a much-loved home for professional, amateur and community arts. Set on the banks of Lough Erne, the theatre has welcomed generations of audiences and performers, from major names including Paul Heaton, Westlife and Patrick Kielty to the many local performers and groups who have made the Ardhowen their home; including EADS, Lakeland Players, ELO and Brightstarz to name but a few.
This special anniversary evening will celebrate the theatre’s rich history and the people who have helped shape it over four decades, bringing together local groups, performers and special guests to share memories and stories.
Guest speakers include Eamonn Bradley, Dave Rees, Ciaran McMenamin and Dana.
Admission is free, but tickets must be obtained in advance and are limited, with allocation on a first-come, first-served basis.
Come and celebrate 40 years of memories, talent, friendship and community at Ardhowen Theatre.
