For over 40 years, Irish Heritage has staged many events celebrating the depth and excellence of Ireland’s culture – its writers, poets, composers, musicians, painters and other creative talents.
Today, Irish Heritage presents a programme of public events in established music venues and supports other organisations, including the Blackwater Valley Opera Festival that shares its aims in music and the arts. It has links with the Royal Dublin Society, the Irish Cultural Centre in west London and conservatoires in Ireland and Britain to identify emerging, talented young performers and composers.
Adult tickets for each Irish Heritage event are £20 each and include a programme and wine reception.
Tickets for events are only available by clicking on the “Buy Tickets” button that accompanies the details of each event when posted on this website or are published in the Irish Heritage newsletter.
Tickets for students are £5 each on production of ID, they are only available on the door on the evening of events and are subject to availability.
The charity uses the TicketTailor ticket reservation system.
