Buncrana Pantomime Society and The Inish Theatre Group helped raise money through their productions to install a lift in St Mary’s Hall. Stephen Ferguson was the one who decided to start the funding for a lift in February 2023.

Mr Ferguson from Riverside Sound Systems started the fundraising with a Donation of €1000.

The Inish Theatre Group formed last year. During their shows some family members of the audience were unable to make the performances as they couldn’t make it up the stairs. The group raised €4000 through their production of ‘A Night with the Stars’.

Buncrana pantomime society raised their money from their last panto in 2023. The group has been around for 40 years, all the proceeds from their shows go back into the parish.

The Pantomime Society raised nearly €10,000 to help get the work completed.

The lift is due to be installed by December of this year. St Mary’s Hall is due to remain open while the work is being completed.
