Since opening in 2001, there have been 900,000 plus visits to Draíocht in Blanchardstown, County Dublin. People of all ages are entertained as audience members or participate in a wide range of programmes and create their own work, giving their voice a platform.
Draíocht engages and supports local, national and international artists of all disciplines in the presentation and creation of work. Draíocht brings the public and artists together, and in that space, magic happens.
