NEW!
Hawk’s Well Theatre Summer School
Monday 21 to Friday 25 July
This year for the first time the Hawk’s Well will host a fun drama summer school for children aged eight to 12.
The summer school will be a gentle introduction to the art of theatre, designed to develop children’s confidence and creativity. Bob Kelly, director of Sligo County Youth Theatre, and two facilitators will lead the children through games and exercises and later on look at aspects of theatre performance in a fun way.
The school will run from 9.30am to 3.30pm each day and children should bring a packed lunch. Places are limited so must be booked in advance. The cost is €100 per child or €90 for siblings taking part. 5% discount for leapyear card-holders. Full payment is required at the time of booking and is non-refundable.
