Storyweavers
Children's authors, Marianne McShane and Máire Zepf, have been on a quest to uncover the best seasonal stories from our folklore and mythology. The storytellers have teamed up with musicians and artists to weave new life into old stories in a series of hands-on interactive children’s workshops.
Come along to their special story telling sessions and meet some weird and wonderful characters along the way!
17th June - 11:00 to 12:30
Listen to storyteller Marianne McShane as she weaves the enchanting story of Áine, Queen of the Fairies in a mid-summer tale of music, otherworldly magic and fairy gold. We will walk, see and hear about fairy traditions as we make our way to the fairy tree, where the story of Áine and the musician will unfold in the open air. This session is suitable for ages 5 to 10 and children must be accompanied by their grown-up. Please dress for off-road fun and meet outside the gift shop.
24ú Meitheamh - 11:00 to 12:30 / 24th June - 11:00 to 12:30
