Weekend Madness

What an exciting weekend we had in Dublinia!!!

On Saturday we had a great puppet show depicting the rise and fall of Lambert Simnel a ten year old boy who became the King of Ireland in 1487.

At the time he was crowned King Edward VI making him a pretender to the throne in an attempt to overthrow King Henry VII of England. 

We must say a big thank you to our master puppeteer Julie for putting on a great show for all involved. It provided children of all ages some insight into the history of Ireland and what it would be like to be King of Ireland in 1487.

On Sunday we had Tamas back for ‘Dress like a Viking’.

If you haven’t seen Tamas just yet, you are missing out! Tamas is our very own Viking who gives you details about his costume and what it would have been like to be a Viking. He tells stories of how they lived their day to day lives.

If you were too busy last weekend enjoying the sun, not to worry because we have a very exciting event coming up over this Easter.

We are hosting a “Big Dig” and a “Viking house” in our courtyard in Dublinia. Our Viking Big Dig gives children a chance to experience what is like to be an archaeologist for a day and you never know they might find Viking treasures dating back over 1000 years.
