Wexford Spiegeltent Festival

A multi-genre festival held on Wexford Quay in an original spiegeltent — a mirrored wooden pavilion built to travel, put up for the run and taken down again. It has run every October since 2012.

The programme is deliberately wide: contemporary music, trad, comedy, spoken word, and the occasional act from further back. The 2026 dates are 16 to 31 October, which overlaps Wexford Festival Opera.

It seats a few hundred, and it books out. Tickets go early.
