The Ark returns to the Laya Healthcare City Spectaular 2015!


We are delighted to back in Merrion Square delivering some of our trademark family events as part of the ESB Spark Your Imagination area of the festival.

We had such a great time at the Laya Healthcare City Spectaular last year that we are back again bringing some of our trademark family events as part of the ESB Spark Your Imagination area of the festival.

This time we have put together a fun-packed programme of events for ages 4+ with:

Funky Rapping Workshops from GMC Beats

Slapstick Performance Workshops with the hilarious Niamh McGrath and Kevin Singleton

Colourful Visual Arts Workshops with artists Jane Groves, Jo May and Camaron Hourigan

Storytelling Sessions with performer Lizzy Morrissey.

All of The Ark's activities are free and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis on the day.

And we are also delighted to be sharing this creative children's area with zany German Scientist Doktor Kaboom and his live science shows, Learn It with their LEGO building workshops and Festi-Jeux with their outdoor wooden games. There really is something for children of all ages! And don't forget the amazing Street Performers you can see on the 5 stages over the weekend!


The Laya Healthcare City Spectacular takes place in Dublin’s Merrion Square this July 10th – 12th. Entry to this family friendly festival is entirely FREE of charge. A 34-time Guinness World Record holding sword swallower, metal bar-bending strong woman, fast-footed football freestyler and children’s workshops in science, theatre, music and art are among the programme highlights at this year’s festival.
