The Black Gate

Black Gate 2.0

We opened our music venue in January of 2017 and for the following three years, we ran hundreds of events, in music, literature, visual arts and film. We had to close during Covid, and then in 2021, just as we were about to reopen, our landlord sold the building and we were forced to pack up and leave.

But the Black Gate is not finished. It has taken time, but we found a new home for the Black Gate right in the centre of Galway (On Flood Street, around the corner from Quay Street).

Since we were forced to close four years ago, we have been fighting very hard to find a space and secure the funds to re-create our space, and open it up again for our community. People make a place, and just as you've all told us how much the Black Gate means to you all, we've missed you all too, and cannot wait to welcome you all back again in the near future.

Whether you are able to contribute to the campaign by pre-buying one of our many reward items/packages or even share the campaign with others, we thank you very much in advance.
