Wood Quay Amphitheatre

Wood Quay Amphitheatre is an open-air venue in central Dublin, set beside Dublin City Council’s Civic Offices. Its tiered, semi-circular stone seating gives organisers a distinctive setting for small-scale public and community events, with the city centre close at hand. The space is suited to family fun days, craft fairs, local markets, small concerts and theatre performances, rather than large productions.

The amphitheatre can seat up to 350 people, with room for approximately 1,200 standing attendees. Its area is about 1,225 square metres, including the steps, walkways and central performance area. Organisers planning a production can enquire about the on-site electrical supply, which includes 63-amp and 16-amp connections, and a local water supply. Electrical requirements should be checked with a Dublin City Council electrician before use.

The site lies between Fishamble Street and Winetavern Street, close to Wellington Quay and Dame Street, with buses serving the nearby area and on-street parking available on Cook Street and the quays. The venue forms part of Dublin City Council’s portfolio of public spaces available to book for outdoor events. The Council’s Events Section handles enquiries about the space and can guide organisers towards the relevant planning information. Its intimate scale and historic urban surroundings make it a practical option for organisers seeking an atmospheric outdoor location for a modest audience in Dublin.
