Family events at An Táin Arts Centre this summer

An Táin Arts Centre has a jam-packed family events programme this summer.

Little Notes for Little Dotes, Wednesday 24th May at 12:30pm and Wednesday 21st June at 10:30am

A wonderful way to introduce your little music lovers to classical music, Little Notes for Little Dotes, a magical musical experience for our 0 - three year olds.

Performed by Glas Quartet, a vibrant and exciting Irish collective of Louth-based professional musicians.

The Grannies, Saturday 27th May at 2:30pm & 4pm, Market Square

The Grannies is a free, interactive, outdoor performance that speaks to people of all ages.

The two older ladies flirt, they provoke, they are shameless – but always end up putting a smile on people’s faces.

Older women are represented in a bold, wild way enjoying the advantages of being old.
This performance is part of the Bealtaine Festival.

Paper World, Saturday 9th June at 7pm, An Táin Arts Centre

Come and experience the pure joy that is Paper World. This fast paced, physical, slapstick comedy, performed by the Ukrainian clown troupe Mimirichi, is like nothing you will have seen before.

Watch the clowns tear the house down (literally!) and get caught up in the biggest paper fight of your life.
