Ballykeeffe Amphitheatre.

The 9th Ballykeeffe Mid-Summer Events brought together a diverse and entertaining programme from lectures to Shakespearean theatre and music ranging from classical to rock. The Family Fun Day was a huge success with rides, games, magician, music and lots more. Visitors from all parts of the country came to experience the magical setting and fabulous atmosphere unique to the Ballykeeffe Amphitheatre.

Ballykeeffe Mid Summer Events 2010 will take place from June to August. We look forward to another summer of entertainment for all and look forward to seeing you there.

On behalf of the KBK Community, we would like to thank all our sponsors and all who supported the Ballykeeffe Events in 2009.

So take look at the programme for 2010 and prepare to enjoy a truly memorable experience at Ballykeeffe Quarry Amphitheatre. Remember that our events take place in the great outdoors so dress according to the weather. However if it happens to rain the event will usually be held indoors. There is stone seating capable of holding 350 people and a terraced grass bank which takes as many more. Plus lots of space around the stage area, a paved limestone circle. A 10 mtr. By 10 mtr. Ballykeeffe is 8 miles from Kilkenny city on the R 695 road and special signs are put in place when concerts are going on.

Quotes from Artists that have played here:

Moya Brennan.

" What a unique experience! There can't be anywhere else like Ballykeeffe in Ireland. Playing there was a pleasure - its intimate and easy to connect with the audience but at the same time there's a sense of grandeur and drama beneath the magnificent rockface. A gem of a place and I'm sure destined to become a favourite with all kinds of performers".
  
Noirinn Ni Riain.

" The amphitheatre was special and magical community resource.
The dramatic cliff face of the old quarry makes for a very impressive backdrop and the tiered seating is beautifully landscaped in a way that also maximises the acoustics".
