The Helix is a multi-venue arts centre serving the people and audiences of North Dublin and beyond with a mixture of high quality music, drama and entertainment. Since its opening in 2002 by President Mary McAleese, the Helix has generated an impressive reputation for staging cutting edge and diverse theatre and music.

The Helix comprises three different auditoria, The Mahony Hall, The Theatre and The Space, alongside a Gallery, and these are all contained in a truly breath taking building designed by A&D Wejchert. The three separate auditoria allow The Helix to attract a diversity of performance type and culture both from within Ireland and around the world

The Helix has welcomed some of the greatest musical and theatre acts from home and abroad. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Lesley Garrett, Bryn Terfel, Brian Kennedy, Roddy Doyle's 'The Woman Who Walked Into Doors'. Van Morrisson, Lou Reed and Sinead O’Connor to name but a few.

The Helix entertainment programme provides something for everybody of all ages and there is something on almost every night of the year.
