Lovers of classic pop music - we have a treat in store for you! Get ready for a spectacular night of nostalgia, unforgettable music, and feel-good entertainment as the Icons of the 70’s Show comes to Portico on 13th February 2027!

At Portico we are undergoing a bit of a spring refresh, particularly doing a digital deep clean of how we sell tickets for our fabulous upcoming events. Previous purchasers will know that we have been using Eventbrite to promote and distribute our tickets but we are now moving to a new platform, to us, Ticketsolve. 

We are delighted to share that Emer Maguire will be returning to the Portico of Ards on Sunday 25th Oct. 

This March, the Portico of Ards in Portaferry comes alive as the Feel Good Festival (1-31) returns, transforming the historic venue into a vibrant celebration of music, arts, and the senses. Against the beautiful coastal backdrop, audiences are invited to embrace the spring season with experiences that are intimate, joyful, and inspiring.

Portico is delighted to be recruiting for two new positions, come and join the team!
