FAMILY SHOWTue 9th October | 7pm

Jeramee, Hartleby agus Oooglemore are at the seaside. Things happen – Hartleby spends a lot of time being bossy and trying to fi nd the perfect spot. Oooglemore does some crazy dancing, shows off a bit, hits the shuttlecock too hard, loses it, spoils the game. Hartleby goes off in a huff. Jeramee makes it all OK. Revelling in delightful innocence and glorious stupidity, Jeramee, Hartleby agus Oooglemore is a surprising and surreal encounter with three people who have a lot to say but only three words with which to say it.a lot to say but only three words with which to say it.a lot to say but only three words with which to say it.

Circus Trick Tease presents

Children are Stinky

We are delighted Branar return with their new show How To Catch A Star. Once there was a boy who was always looking up. He dreamt of having a star as a friend. This is the story of his adventure. Based on the beloved book by award-winning Irish author Oliver Jeffers. This adaptation combines puppetry with a magical original score by Colm Mac Con Iomaire and directed by Marc Mac Lochlainn.

All the way from Australia this circus duo attempts to prove that kids are stinky, they are met with messy, ridiculous and hysterical twists. This exciting kids comedy is a 50 minute action packed extravaganza. Expect dare devil stunts, incredible acrobatics, lighting fast hula hoops, and loads of laughs and mischievous fun.

The Speks are back and they’re even more spek-tacular than ever before! They present a lively show of nursery rhymes and sing-along songs set to acoustic Irish music which will have adults and kids jumping in their seats.

The Speks encourage everyone to sing, scream, clap and dance along during their performances. This will be a great, fun event for kids aged 2 to 92!

With some brand-new tricks and some old favourites, Donal and Jeff The Unicorn will perform neat tricks using everyday objects you fi nd around the house.

The Three Pigs are fed up with singing “Eee aye eee aye oh!” every day and bravely decide to move away from Old McDonald’s farm. Join the kind farmer and all of their animal friends in helping the little pigs build homes of their own, but beware, the big bad Wolf is on the prowl. Can you help save the day and stop the wolf blowing all the pigs hard work away?

A colourful and fun interactive show,full of props, pop ups and audience participation! The children help identify farm produce, sing and take part as the animals on the farm.
