The Ballykeeffe Amphitheatre is Kilkenny’s outdoor auditorium and it is used many times during the year for outdoor performances. Located beneath Ballykeeffe Woods and Nature Reserve, I have visited this area many times to walk our dog and get some exercise.
The Amphitheatre was build in the remains of an old slate quarry, for a longtime the performances were held in the open air but very recently it boasts a state of the art canopy which fits within the worked-out quarry.
The acoustics and setting are designed to provide for a great outdoor theatre and music performance.
When the new canopy first appeared, I took the following images.

Hello Scott, Thank you
Yes, the circle that is the stage is very symbolic, I think it’s in the form of a sun symbol.
That that’s what you meant ?

Yes the shape of the stage, love the design. I’m sure a lot of thought went into the acoustics as well.

Great idea! We don’t have any amphitheatres here but there should be with this heat. Great shots! 🙂

Hello Norma 🙂
Thank you, it’s great to have it, it’s a very rural part of the world here, so to have something like this is a true gift 🙂
You should see if some group of people would be able to fund having one !

Although I’ve never been to an outdoor theater, I have been to an outdoor concert. Wonderful! Love the detail!
