June bank holiday in Sligo: Scriptless in Seattle, Sligo Rovers, country music and much more
We've compiled a list of some of the best events taking place this weekend to keep you and the family entertained.
See our top picks below.
Scriptless in Seattle
With a style reminiscent of the beloved show 'Whose Line Is It Anyway,' Scriptless in Seattle offers a unique blend of hilarious sketches, improvised musicals, game shows, film noir, and so much more.
No two shows are ever the same, ensuring an evening filled with surprises, laughter, and memorable moments at St Brigid's Hall, Tubbercurry on Monday, June 2.
Six years after their 2019 formation, Scriptless in Seattle continues to tour across America and beyond…and they are still flying by the seats of their pants.
Come enjoy a show that has not yet been written and even get the chance to steer its direction.
Tickets available through eventbrite.
Sligo Rovers V St Patrick's Athletic
Sligo Rovers will play their final game before the mid-season break at home this Friday, May 30 at The Showgrounds, instead of the usual Saturday evening kick-off.
This is due to the mid-season break.
Rovers are still bottom of the table after last Friday's defeat to the league champions Shelbourne, and John Russell's side could really do with your support for this game.
Show Up and Show Off
Hawk's Well Theatre is proud to present Show Up and Show Off, a vibrant celebration of local talent, on Friday, May 30.
As a theatre for the people, Hawk's Well is committed to reflecting the rich tapestry of its community. This unique showcase spotlights the creativity and dedication of over 150 participants from the theatre's diverse Community Workshops. Including:
Show Up and Show Off is more than a performance; it's a testament to the power of community and the arts. Come and show your support for the performers as they take to the stage.

Country music night
Enjoy a night of country music at the Coleman Music Centre in Gurteen this Thursday, May 29.
With a wonderful line up of acts including Carmel Mcloughlin, Gerry Guthrie, Effie Niell with musicians Brian Kerrigan and Matt Curran, it's sure to be a great night out.
Tickets available from the Coleman Music Centre box office.
Wine O'Clock
Get ready to raise a glass and laugh out loud as acclaimed Irish actress and comedian Norma Sheahan brings her smash-hit comedy show It's Wine O'Clock to the Hawk's Well on Saturday, May 31.
Known for her sharp wit, warm charm, and razor-sharp storytelling, Norma takes audiences on a wildly funny journey through the ups and downs of modern life — from motherhood and menopause to health scares and hilarious misadventures — all washed down with a splash (or three) of wine. This riotous one-woman show is the ultimate girl's night out, but everyone is welcome to join the fun.
Elevation
'Elevation' by Conor Gallagher opened at the Hamilton Gallery last Saturday, May 24. Elevation started in Spring 2024 with journeys around Teesan, Carncash, Rahabarna and Kiltycooly in north Sligo where there are remarkable views of the Dartry mountains at close range. The show features paintings, photography and prints which are part of Conor's 'Sligo Mountain Series'.
Conor's paintings in acrylic with their dramatic monotone blue skies offer a unique view of these familiar locations. These paintings often started in a realistic style and were then de-constructed which involved literally scraping back to the surface.
30+ Bank Holiday extravaganza
Get ready for Ireland's most exciting new nightclub experience designed exclusively for the 30+ crowd this Sunday, June 1 at the Garavogue Bar.
Dance the evening away to the biggest hits from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and today, all while being transported on a jaw-dropping visual trip down memory lane on a state-of-the-art LED video wall.
Hosted by DJ Fergal D'Arcy – One of Ireland's top DJs and radio presenters.
