June sees Ireland's cultural calendar in full bloom, as RT Supporting the Arts showcases a vibrant and wide-ranging programme spanning music, theatre, visual art and literature nationwide. From internationally acclaimed performers to deeply rooted local traditions, this month's line-up reflects the strength and diversity of Ireland's creative sector.
Chamber Choir Ireland's Spring-Summer 2026 Season continues to bring exceptional choral music to audiences across the country, combining classical and contemporary repertoire delivered to the ensemble's renowned standard. In Dublin, the Dublin International Chamber Music Festival offers a rich programme of performances from leading musicians, creating a hub for chamber music lovers. Meanwhile, the National Gallery's exhibition William Blake: The Age of Romantic Fantasy invites visitors into the visionary world of one of the most influential figures of the romantic era. Dublin's theatre scene is equally compelling, with the Gate Theatre staging Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband, a sharp and entertaining exploration of morality, politics and reputation.
Limerick stands out as a major cultural centre this month, hosting both the Limerick Summer Proms 2026 at University Concert Hall, with its accessible blend of orchestral and popular favorites. The Limerick Sings International Choral Festival welcomes choirs from around the world in a joyful celebration of collective singing. The city's heritage is also showcased at The Hunt Museum through Our, ir, Ore: Four Millennia of Limerick Silver and Gold, offering a fascinating insight into centuries of craftsmanship and design.
In Cork, the Cork Midsummer Festival transforms the city with an ambitious programme of theatre, dance and interdisciplinary work. In Wicklow, the Ancient Music Festival - Music in the Forest 2026 provides a unique opportunity to experience early and traditional music in an enchanting woodland setting.
Further west, visitors can explore the National Museum of Ireland - Turlough Park in Co. Mayo, where history, heritage and natural beauty combine to create a rich cultural experience. In Conamara, F asta Ceoil An Spid il '26 celebrates Irish-language music and artistic expression, grounded in a strong sense of place and community. Meanwhile, in Kells, the Hinterland Festival of Literature & Arts brings together writers, thinkers and audiences for engaging conversations, readings and performances exploring contemporary ideas and storytelling.
RT Supporting the Arts is committed to supporting artists, audiences and cultural organisations across the country, helping to bring the arts to wider communities. June's extensive programme reflects the strength, imagination and diversity of Ireland's creative sector, and RT Supporting the Arts is proud to help amplify these cultural experiences nationwide.
June offers the perfect opportunity to step out, explore, and support the wealth of artistic activity taking place across the country. RT Supporting the Arts invites you to immerse yourself in Ireland's vibrant cultural landscape. We encourage everyone to explore, attend, and enjoy the wealth of creativity on offer this month.
