Theatre

The theatre is housed in a former Quaker Meeting House and is the perfect stage size for the truly memorable intimate (but not too intimate) theatrical experience.

Garter Lane is home to a beautiful 164 seater theatre space in the heart of Waterford City, where nationally acclaimed theatre is regularly presented alongside a host of locally produced work of the highest standards.










Welcome to the Flock was an exhibition about migratory birds that aimed to bring awareness of sociopolitical reality in Ireland.
The show had two parts: professional illustrators' 'flock' of bird postcards and art by migrant groups.

Garter Lane Arts Centre Waterford hosted a major collaboration between the Italian National Association of Contemporary Engravers (IACE) and Cork Printmakers, bringing together twenty four artists from Italy and Ireland.
