This autumn and winter, Castlebar is stepping into the daytime-entertainment spotlight thanks to the TF Royal Hotel & Theatre on the Old Westport Road. The venue combines hotel, theatre, and dining with a big event space, making it a one-stop destination for fun, food and music. This season there are two upcoming events tailor-made for afternoon and early-evening revelry. Let Loose: The Big Christmas Singalong Boozy Brunch From 2pm to 6pm on Sunday, November 23, the TF Royal Theatre will host a four-hour brunch-party, featuring a free shot on arrival, party props, games, and a high-energy musical mix of throwbacks, power-ballads and sing-alongs. Grab a group of friends, especially if you are into lively daytime celebrations, and get in on the festive-season buzz without staying out late. The 30+ Club Geared towards the 30-plus crowd, this daytime clubbing experience on Thursday, December 30, offers Eighties to early Noughties nostalgia, vibrant sound and lighting, giveaways and an early finish - all inside the same venue. Think dance-floor fun and social energy, with the bonus of not needing to be up till dawn. Dining and venue highlights To complete the experience, the TF Royal Hotel & Theatre offers two superb on-site dining options. The Green Room Bar & Restaurant is an elegant yet comfortable dining space open daily from noon through dinner; ideal for a pre-event meal. Bookings encouraged on (094 )9023111. The Yew Tree Café is a relaxed and stylish café setting for breakfast, brunch or a casual bite - perfect if you want to arrive early and perhaps grab a coffee. Why it matters locally In the West of Ireland, large-scale daytime entertainment still is not the norm. The TF Royal Theatre’s move into brunch-parties and daytime clubbing fills a niche, giving locals, and visitors from all over the west and northwest, a destination that offers the party atmosphere without the all-night finish. Arrive early to secure good seating for the brunch event. Book your dining ahead at the Green Room if you want a full meal, and check age policies: the brunch event is 18+ and the 30+ Club is strictly over-30 with ID required. Whether you are planning a day out, a pre-show meal or simply want to dance earlier and smarter, the TF Royal Theatre in Castlebar has you covered. Other December events with a later start time include the ever-popular Block Rockin’ Beats and Picture This. Time to get booking!
