✨ It's not too late to book in for this fantastic event! ✨

Join Niamh Donnellan, author of Little Irish History Heroes and Little Irish Folklore Friends, from 11am-12pm for a wonderful storytelling and craft workshop.

Niamh will bring her stories to life by reading from one of her books using fun props like St. Brigid’s cloak, a Viking helmet and Grace O’Malley’s spyglass.

After the story, children will make their own hero's crown and can use special character ink stamps on their finished artwork with characters from the book.

Meet the giant Fionn Mac Cumhaill who built a causeway to Scotland and tricked his rival Benandonner; bold Grace O’Malley and her pirate crew at sea; great high king Brian Boru battling the Viking hordes; kind St Brigid and her legendary cloak; and the tale of young Cú Chulainn, the ‘hound of Ulster’, who defeated a wolfhound with a sliotar.

For ages 4-8
