Athlone Castle hosts free show for families later this month

Athlone Castle Visitor Centre will host ‘My Delicious Hat’, a unique free event created by Westmeath performance artist and storyteller, Paul Timoney on Saturday, October 22.

‘My Delicious Hat’ is a rather peculiar take on the story of how Cú Chulainn got his name. This brilliantly entertaining show combines surreal, silly, funny and rather interactive poems with activities that children will truly enjoy.

Children are encouraged to join with the ‘generally-acting-the-messer-maestro’ and to get ready to be enthralled by Paul’s storytelling!

Paul Timoney is one of the most unique voices of spoken word, an award-winning Irish poet and performer, who has worked as a teacher and facilitator of creative activities for many years.

This event will be held at Athlone Castle on Saturday, October 22 at 11.30am. This show is suitable for children between 7-12 years of age. Booking in advance is essential via 090 6442130 or info@athlonecastle.ie as spaces will be limited. Children must be accompanied by one adult, parent. This free event does not include admission to Athlone Castle Visitor Centre.
