The origins of Camross Hall date back to the early 1920s when some young local men wanted to create a place where the community could come together in a social setting. Their dream had come true by the mid 1920’s when the hall -a corrugated iron construction- provided the first place of entertainment in the area.Its attraction grew throughout the 1930’s and 40’s with dances going on till four in the morning, mumming competitions, card drives, meetings, drama productions, and other social gatherings.

It was so successful that it began drawing crowds from a wider area and the then committee began refurbishment and extension work which saw it completed in 1951. It proved to be very successful again and a new committee redesigned it completely and was reopened again in 1961 with a modern dance floor, new stage and lighting and proved to be a huge hit with dancers from across County Wexford
and beyond during the swinging sixties. The then committee saw the potential for further development and the hall was totally redesigned and extended to give the building we have today. It was opened in May 1972 and saw the biggest crowds
yet when it was dancing mecca every Friday night right up to 1982.

The 1980s saw a move away from the showband dancehall type of entertainment to the discos, many of which had a drinks licence. This impacted on Camross Hall and the weekly dances were over. However bingo continued to draw the crowds to Camross Hall until it finished in 2004.
In 2009 monthly Friday night social dances started and continue very successfully to the present day. There is once again a live band and patrons love to dance the night away on the beautiful maple sprung floor carrying on a tradition than began almost one hundred years ago.
Other notable events that have made their mark in Camross Hall is the Passion Play which was first produced at Eastertime in 2000. It has been held every six years since. Another memorable event was the New Years Eve Ball which was held every year between 1976 and 1993. The hall continues to be of great benefit to the community and if you would like to keep up to date with events taking place
