Féile Classical at Semple Stadium, Thurles on the 20-21/9/19

The Féile Classical concerts are due to take place on Friday 20th & Saturday 21st of September 2019 at Semple Stadium, Thurles.

Traffic travelling to the event will be directed along designated routes to ensure that they arrive at the car park designated for that route. 

Access Routes: 

There will be 3 primary vehicle access routes to the event. These routes are as follows:

  • Vehicles approaching from East/South via M8 – Cashel/Horse & Jockey
  • Vehicles approaching from North/West via M7 – Roscrea/Nenagh
  • Local vehicular traffic via R660

Emergency Routes:

Emergency routes will be maintained for all emergency services.

Superintendent Patrick Murphy is appealing to all patrons attending the concerts to be patient and allow sufficient time for their journey and to be guided by Gardai on Traffic Point Duty. If you must park on the road ensure your car is turned for home, this is to ensure the minimum delay after the concerts. Please allow extra time for your journey as a large crowd is expected.

Signage:

All routes to and from the concert venue and car parks will be clearly signposted – the organisers in conjunction with An Garda Siochana will ensure adequate signage is in place the day before the event to help ease traffic flow and for information of patrons attending the event – and more especially as patrons leave the event to return to their vehicles.
