Your help is appreciated

The Ukulele Hooley is a not-for-profit, family-friendly, community event now in its fourteenth year and growing in popularity and reputation as each August comes and goes.

Putting on a free, not-for-profit, community-based event such as the Ukulele Hooley costs money. Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council has been very generous to us over the years as our Main Sponsor, but as costs rise considerably, we really could do with a little more support to bridge the financial gaps.

If you would like to pitch in and help out. Become a Supporter of the Ukulele Hooley.

A sincere Thank You to all those who have supported us in past years and so far this year. It's hugely appreciated. See you at the Hooley.

The Ukulele Hooley happens in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland on Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd August 2026
