Wonder – Castlebar’s Mini-Festival of Creativity!

  • Performance

Join us for inclusive day of children doing, making and creating. This mini-festival celebrates the creativity & imagination of under 18s!

Events include:
The Lonesome Boatman – Circus Theatre Performance (All Ages). 
Embark on amazing voyage with Buttons: a man who gets into his bath and sails away on the rising tides. The Lonesome Boatman is an outstanding circus theatre show: a musical clown odyssey, which explores the themes of climate change, in a humorous but thought-provoking way. A playful story, bubbling with comedy, surprises and rubber ducks!

Art Workshops (5 – 12 years).
Cruinniú naÓg Art Sessions. Get hands-on in our family art sessions, designed to ignite imagination and delight. Children will take home their wonderful creations.  

Sketch Club (11 – 18 years)
Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, this sketch club is designed for all abilities. Young artists will get to work directly with a life model. Life-drawing is the drawing of the human form, in various poses and levels of detail. Enjoy the creative challenge of capturing the human form. All materials provided.
Advance booking recommended
