Early Start, Big Night Out!
The 30+ Club returns to Killarney this Sunday, offering the over-30s a proper night out, with dancing from 5pm to 9pm.
Who says a great night out has to start at midnight? Killarney's Gleneagle Arena is turning back the clock this Sunday, October 25, as The 30+ Club returns with a nightclub experience aimed squarely at the over-30s.
Designed for people in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, the event promises all the excitement of a traditional nightclub, without the late start or early-morning finish.
Running from 5pm until 9pm, the evening features professional DJs playing dancefloor favourites from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, accompanied by impressive stage production, special effects, confetti blasts and giveaways.
The concept has already proved hugely popular across Ireland and the UK, with organisers reporting sales of more than 100,000 tickets.
For many Kerry people who remember Killarney's nightclub scene in its heyday, the event offers a chance to relive those nights, meet friends, enjoy familiar music and get back on the dancefloor.
The early finish is particularly appealing to parents, working professionals and anyone who enjoys a night out without staying up until the small hours.
And for those not ready to call it a night at 9pm, there's still plenty of evening left to enjoy in Killarney.
Organiser Barry O'Kane says the events attract everyone from parents enjoying a rare night out to people returning to clubbing after 20 years.
The 30+ Club takes place at Gleneagle Arena this Sunday, with tickets starting from €18.25. Admission is strictly for over-30s.

The long-running saga of Listry Bridge returned to the Killarney Municipal District agenda on Wednesday morning, with Cllr Niall Kelleher demanding a breakdown of how a recently awarded €100,000 grant will be spent.

In response to the query, Kerry County Council confirmed that the funding is earmarked for a suite of interim safety measures designed to improve the notorious bottleneck.
The planned upgrades include a reduced speed limit on both approaches to the bridge to force a slower flow of traffic.
The Council also intends to upgrade all existing signage and road linings, while extending the anti-skid surfacing to provide better vehicle grip on the approach.
Additionally, the funds will cover essential maintenance to the bridge parapet and the repair of pavement defects that have developed on the road surface.

Cinema-goers in Killarney will have the chance to see local star Jessie Buckley on the big screen from this Friday when her latest film Hamnet opens at Cinema Killarney on East Avenue.

The release comes amid major international attention for the Killarney-born actress, who is at the centre of awards season buzz following her performance in the film.
Buckley, 36, recently won Best Actress at the Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica for her role and is widely tipped for further honours as the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Oscars approach.
Directed by Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao, Hamnet is based on Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel and tells the story behind the creation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Rather than focusing on the playwright himself, the film centres on his wife Agnes, played by Buckley, and the impact of personal loss on their family. Paul Mescal co-stars as William Shakespeare.
Buckley’s performance has been widely praised by critics, with strong reviews highlighting her portrayal of a woman grounded in nature and shaped by grief, motherhood and resilience in 16th-century England. The film explores themes of love, loss and creativity, with Agnes at its emotional core.
While awards speculation continues, local audiences can now judge the performance for themselves. The opening of Hamnet in Killarney is a notable moment for the town, allowing cinema-goers to see one of its own in a leading role that has drawn international acclaim.
