Ardhowen Theatre

Visited the cafe, had a beautiful cherry scone baked by The Cake House & a cappachino. Staff were very polite, friendly & chatty. The view is stunning, large glass windows with lakeside view. Prices are decent. Peaceful setting, could easily sit there all day soaking up the tranquility!

had a great night out watching Jake oKane show...fantastic small theatre on outskirts of Enniskillen

A lovely Theatre with good facilities for people with mobility difficulties. Good disabled parking - the staff are exceptionally friendly! Well worth a visit for the views of Lough Erne itself!

Was here for the Paul Heaton gig. Great location. Plenty of parking. Spotlessly clean venue. Quick service at the bar and friendly staff throughout.

Went to see Beauty & the Beast here. What a lovely setting by Lough Erne. There theatre was well laid out. As for the performance well all I could say is wow wow wow such talent.

Omg I go regularly its a lovely theatre friendly staff and the shows are out of this world im going twice this week

Very nice little theatre. First time visit but will definitely return.

Always a nice theatre for a show. Small, intimate, comfortable, wheelchair friendly. Bar, but no drinks can be brought into theatre.

The Ardhowen Theatre is just on the edge of Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, which itself is situated on the short stretch of river between the twin upper & lower lakes of Lough Erne, and it's a beautiful riverside location that this theatre has. Housed in a attractive modern building, (bright & airy, with lots of glass on the exterior), it opened only in 1986, and essentially comprises of a 290 seat raked auditorium. Through work and pastime I've been to a great number of theatres across Ireland & the UK and you learn to recognize excellent facilities when you see them, and this is a really lovely space. Considerable thought has gone into the layout, so that genuinely no audience member has a worse seat than another or restricted view, and the acoustics are superb. The theatre justifiably attracts the cream of professional touring theatre, Enniskillen being officially northern Ireland you get a number of English companies coming here, as well as Irish, and there's everything from contemporary dance through to ballet & live music as well. Legendary Irish pianist & songwriter Phil Coulter, (whose song Scorn not his Simplicity, as sung by either Luke Kelly or Sinéad O'Connor, is one of my favourites), had just been performing here the night before the group I was in was let loose upon the place! We were made to feel genuinely welcome by everyone from the technician to the box office staff, (I had a particularly interesting conversation with the 'techie' about poteen)! Anyone whose toured around lots of theatres, knows the importance of a warm welcome, and this was a real hospitable Irish welcome here in Enniskillen. Good memories for me at The Ardhowen.
