Return of Spring 

Wednesday 3rd April 

Times: 10am & 12pm

Tickets: €7/5 (Teachers go free)

Every year in Whistleberry Forest, the creatures of the forest look forward to the end of the frosty Winter and to the beginning of Spring. This year was a little different however, as Springtime had arrived much earlier than usual. All the hibernating animals, except for Huggy the hedgehog, were still curled up fast asleep. Huggy must go on an adventurous musical quest in search of evidence of Spring if he is to convince his friends that it is time to wake up.

Produced by Ceol Connected, this wonderfully interactive performance is led by Thomas Johnston (whistles, song and uilleann pipes) and Púca Puppets’ Niamh Lawlor.  Directed by Emelie Fitzgibbon. Set design by Eve Fisher. Suitable for children ages 3-6 years and their adults.

Dabbledoomusic Workshops 

Saturday 4th May 

Time: 11am (5-7 years) & 12.30pm (8+ years)

Tickets: €5 (Parents go free)

DabbledooMusic provides an accessible, engaging and fun way for all the family to enjoy playing music together, regardless of previous experience or ability. Their resources have been developed to encourage creativity and collaboration through the power of music. They use a system of animated, colour-coded notation that anyone can understand to get everybody making music in no time. 

DabbledooMusic was set up in 2010 by Shane McKenna and Killian Redmond, both artists and educators who shared a mutual love of music. Since then, they have developed an entire music curriculum. In this workshop children will be provided with instruments and will play along to Igor The Octopus (the world’s greatest drummer!), learn melody with Jazz Cat and even play an Irish Polka.
