An Táin Arts Centre Film Club - Dundalk

An Táin Arts Centre’s Film Club is a long-running monthly fixture in Dundalk, split across two sessions that draw different crowds at different prices. The Dundalk Democrat has covered it repeatedly through 2026 as it returned with fresh programmes for spring, March and April screenings, and the underlying pattern has stayed the same each time: an afternoon screening early in the month and an evening one at the end of it.

What to expect

The Afternoon Film Club runs on the second Tuesday of every month at 2pm and includes free tea and coffee with a chat after the screening, aimed at anyone who wants a relaxed daytime outing rather than a late finish. Tickets cost €3.50 plus a €1.50 booking fee per ticket. The Evening Film Club runs on the last Tuesday of the month, with tickets at €5.50 plus the same €1.50 booking fee. Both sessions are held in An Táin’s main theatre, a 350-seat auditorium inside the centre’s former Town Hall building, which has been screening pictures since 1912 and shows a handpicked, rotating selection rather than current blockbuster releases. The Studio, a smaller 55-seat space in the same building, is used for other in-house work but not typically the Film Club itself. The programme changes every month; local press through spring 2026 reported new titles announced ahead of each round of screenings, with the two-session format staying constant every time. Exact titles for the August, September and October sessions are announced on antain.ie and in the Dundalk Democrat closer to each date, so it is worth checking shortly before you plan to go.
