The hall accommodates approximately 160 people. We are very conscious of the great interest in the concert and the demand for seats. With this in mind, we are allocating 2 tickets per family, (€10 per adult ticket), €5 per child ticket. (All our school children will be free). This will allow us to plan and organise for the night.

In the first instance each family will have the option to purchase tickets (2 tickets per family) this offer will be available from tomorrow, Friday 3^rd and Wednesday 8^th June. Then depending on availability, the tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis.

All the children will be taking part and as you can appreciate quite a lot of work, effort and expertise has gone into the show with thanks from Catherine Mahon-Buckley and the song and drama teachers from CADA Performing Arts. We look forward to a great night and hope you can join us.

Again, tickets can be purchased from tomorrow , Friday 3^rd and Wednesday 8^th June for families – €10 per adult or €5 per child( maximum 2 tickets per family)

Due to the hall capacity of approx. 160, please note that tickets are only available at the school No tickets will be sold at the door on the School Gala Concert night
