From a night of Garth Brooks classics to an elegant candlelit dinner and show, followed by a spectacular Christmas celebration, there’s plenty to look forward to at the Villa Rose Hotel in Ballybofey.
If you’re looking for a great excuse to get together with friends, plan a special night out or simply enjoy some fantastic live entertainment, the Villa Rose Hotel has three very special events lined up over the coming months.
Starting this September and continuing right through to Christmas, the programme brings together country music, classical and musical theatre, fine dining, dance and some of Ireland’s best-known performers.
First up: Thunder Rolls – Garth Brooks Tribute
Friday, September 18th | Villa Rose Hotel
It all gets underway on Friday, September 18th, with a night guaranteed to have country music fans singing along.
Thunder Rolls – Garth Brooks Tribute brings the music of one of the world’s biggest country stars to Ballybofey, with Ireland’s own Stephen Butler and his spectacular live band taking to the stage.
Audiences can expect all the big favourites, including Friends in Low Places, Thunder Rolls, The Dance, Beaches of Cheyenne and Unanswered Prayers, alongside many more of Garth Brooks’ biggest hits.
With two hours of live entertainment, this promises to be a high-energy night of country classics and a chance to enjoy the atmosphere of a Garth Brooks concert without having to travel too far from home.
Doors open at 7pm, with the show getting underway at 8pm.
An Evening of Broadway, Vienna and Candlelight
Saturday, October 10th | Three-course dinner and show
From country music, the Villa Rose will then turn up the glamour for what promises to be a truly memorable evening on Saturday, October 10th.
Broadway to Vienna – By Candlelight will combine fine dining with an outstanding evening of music, opera, musical theatre and dance, all set against the enchanting glow of candlelight.
Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner before an impressive two-hour show featuring an exceptional line-up of performers.
Internationally acclaimed violinist Vladimir Jablokov will make a rare and intimate appearance at the Villa Rose as part of his Autumn 2026 Tour. He will be joined by celebrated Irish tenor Seán Costello, soprano Rachel Croash and world champion ballroom dancers from Exquisite Dance.
It promises to be a very different kind of night out – elegant, intimate and packed with exceptional music and performance.
Doors open at 6.30pm, dinner is served at 7.30pm and the music begins at 9.15pm.
Tickets for the three-course dinner and show are €65 per person, with early booking highly recommended for this one-night-only event.
