Ballrooms, Hotels & Marquees By County
Kilkenny through Wicklow

To help you locate a county, we have both a map and a list. Please click on the county using the map at the right to take you to a list of venues for that county, or use the table below to find all venues listed alphabetically by county. 

We need your help! In trying to determine the "status" of venues, we have only been able to go by research on the Internet. "Active" only means the venue still exists and may, or may not, run dances any more. "Derelict" means it is still standing. If you have any updates on any of these venues, please click here to email us with news! Thanks.

The following list of venues has been culled from a variety of sources, but is being constantly updated! If you know of any venues left out, please drop us a line and we will add it to the list. We'd also love to get photos of as many of these venues as possible...old or new! Click on the hotel name if highlighted to see a photo. Click here to go straight to the photo galleries.

Kieran Magennis, Declan Colgan, Johnny Gallagher, Joan O'Connell, Tom O'Connor, Martin Carroll, Anthony Hillick, Garth Armitage, Declan Byrne, Billy Swann, Patrick Hoye, John MacCrossan, and John McGrenra for their support, information or photos!
