The Irish festival of Lughnasadh (Loo-na-sa) marks the changing seasons and the beginning of Harvest.  To celebrate, children's authors, Marianne McShane and Máire Zepf, have uncovered some of the weird and wonderful seasonal tales from Irish folklore and mythology to share with your little ones. 

Join this hands-on interactive children's workshop as our storytellers weave new life into old stories!

Come along to our storytelling session with children's author Máire Zepf, and hear the dramatic Irish folklore tale of Lugh Lámhfhada and the evil cyclops Balor! Make your own Lugh or Balor headdresses to wear and take home, using the story as inspiration with guidance from artist Anna O'Kane.
