Space Invaders Early Years Festival

Space Invaders Early Years Festival Space Invaders is an international early years arts festival.

Space Invaders returns to Farmleigh this May with a creative and playful programme for children aged 0-5years and their adults. Fingal Arts Office recognises the importance of supporting the artistic learning, development and wellbeing of children, their carers and educators. Space Invaders upholds the principles of the Creative Ireland Programme and supports the development of a creative society

for all. Working in partnership with Cliodhna Noonan of Acting Up Arts and Jackie Maguire of Colourstrings Music with Jackie we have devised an artistic programme that celebrates and supports these important first years in life. The programme includes international and Irish performances for children aged 0-5 years, along with family art workshops and creative training sessions as CPD for Early Years Educators. SPACE INVADERS is the first event of its kind in Ireland and builds on the early years arts experiences of the Fingal Arts Office to date. Space Invaders has been kindly supported by Early Childhood Ireland, Draiocht, Farmleigh, The Austrian Embassy in Dublin, The Croatian Ministry of Culture and the city of Zagreb in previous years.
