School music tours to Dublin

Close to home
Appreciative audiences
Lively music scene

“Thanks very much for your excellent work on organising the tour, the students all had a fantastic week.”

Matt, Party leader, Merseyside

Venues across the city

Dublin’s musical scene is one of the richest in Europe and embraces all types of musical style. Every street corner seems to buzz with live music, from traditional Irish music-making in the countless pubs to classical concerts in the magnificent National Concert Hall at the heart of the city. Dublin also drips with literary connections; James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde all lived and worked in Dublin and there are many attractions across the city that can be visited. And, of course, there is lots of fun to be had in the city, ensuring a stay in Dublin is one our groups will never forget.

The church of St Ann is also a wonderful formal choral venue which is frequently used for concerts. Bands can perform in venues right across the city, which include gardens, bandstands and amphitheatres.

FAQs

Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

We understand that school music tours are considered as a reward or holiday for many groups and that where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for young music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms are normally multi-bedded for students and twins, sometimes singles, for adults. Generally, rooms are en-suite.

We have drawn up a comprehensive step-by-step Guide to planning a school music tour for first time tourers. This covers all aspects of tour planning from budgeting and fundraising, to choosing the right destination, accommodation and performing venues for your ensemble. Click here to read our Guide.

You should book your tour between 8-18 months in advance. This will give us time to find the best possible venues for your tour and you will have ample time for fundraising should you need to do so.
