The Ark on Tour to Kilkenny Arts Festival

Music, theatre and early years workshops


The Ark will tour a selection of its theatre, music and early years workshops to Kilkenny Arts Festival this August.

Every year, for 10 days in August, Kilkenny comes alive with a feast of artistic entertainment for all. Now entering its 40th year, the Festival now draws more than 23,000 visitors annually who come and partake in all that Kilkenny has to offer.

This year at the festival The Ark will present Early Years Theatre Workshops on 13 & 14 August, where very young children can explore fictional worlds through creative play, story and drama, as well as gentle and interactive Early Years Music Workshops inspired by colours, pictures, lights and nature on 15 & 16 August. Older children aged 5 and over can enjoy an active theatre workshop based on a famous legend in The King’s Big Secret on 13 & 14 August, or compose music inspired by film in Surprising Sounds in Technicolor on 15 & 16 August.

Booking for all of these events is through the Kilkenny Arts Festival website.
