The main centre in Širvintos

Širvintai District Municipal Cultural Centre operates at Igno Šeiniaus Street 4 in Širvintos. It is the district's main centre, bringing together stage work, exhibitions, amateur arts, education, and community gatherings; branches belong to the wider network but do not replace this address.

Municipal information gives the legal entity code 190382789 and names director Rytė Kružikė. These details help distinguish the main centre from similarly named cultural spaces or branches when planning from a map.

Stage, exhibitions, and meetings

The centre lists a large hall, exhibition hall, small conference hall, and dance hall. It also identifies multimedia, conference sound and lighting, and concert sound and lighting equipment, allowing the building to host different types of gathering.

The main-hall view shows a wood stage, grey-beige curtains, a silver lighting structure, and dark-blue seats. This is practical event infrastructure rather than a decorative exhibition, so the layout and access can change with each programme.

Concerts, films, exhibitions, conferences, and cultural education take place here, and groups can arrange excursions. Tickets, seating, and admission to a closed event depend on the event information.

Groups and cultural work

The main centre hosts the Avižonys kapela, Gojus folklore ensemble, a folk-music band, PRIMO VERE mixed choir, Viesulėlės, Noragas, and Viesula. Group membership, rehearsals, and admissions vary by season, making this living activity rather than a fixed exhibition.

The centre's work includes children's camps, publishing, cinema, audio recording, cultural education, performing and visual arts, photography, events, and recreation. On one day it may be a concert hall; on another, a learning or creative-workshop space.

A district-wide network

The network includes branches in Alionys, Anciūnai, Bagaslaviškis, Čiobiškis, Družai, Gelvonai, Kernavė, Kiaukliai, Musninkai, Šiauliai, and Vileikiškiai. They matter for cultural distribution, but the address and visiting advice here concern the main centre in Širvintos.

The municipality highlights Culture Days in January-February and harvest festivals in September-October, rooted in customs, crafts, and culinary heritage. Dates can vary from year to year, so consult the current programme when planning a visit.

Cash desk, tickets, and visiting

The map point marks the main building at Igno Šeiniaus Street 4. For a concert, exhibition, or film, check the centre's current programme, cash-desk hours, and ticket rules first. Administrative hours are not necessarily the start of an event.

Groups seeking an excursion or education session should arrange it in advance because rooms may be occupied by rehearsals or events. Ticket and entry arrangements depend on the programme, so check the event information before arriving.
