Tyrellstown Family Day 28 August 2010
August 29, 2010
We had a super day yesterday at the Tyrellstown Family Day.
Nicola, Sarah, Niamh, Ian and Andrew headed off with the Draiocht Marquee and lots of red cushions and art materials, and set up a Family Day of Kite Making and Art from 3-6pm.
We had tons of kids through our tent enjoying the make-and-do.




Betelnut Café kindly gave us tea and coffee vouchers to give out to people, and Draiocht proudly sponsored the first prizes of the Tyrellstown Art Competition.
On possibly the windiest day in August, our Marquee faired quite well and thanks so much to all the committee for helping us secure our pegs and stay firmly on the ground!

NEW EVENT: Meet the Author – Darren Shan
April 14, 2010
Don't miss the latest addition to our Youth Arts programme, where you can Meet the Author – Darren Shan.
Taking place on Friday 30 April, in our Main Auditorium, from 10.30am-11.30am (followed by book signing), this event is suitable for anyone aged 11+ (5th & 6th class groups or other fans not in school!). This is a free event but must be booked in advance at Box Office, tel: 01-8852622.

Darren Shan brought vampires to a whole new audience with The Cirque du Freak series, which sold in the millions and was made into a movie last year. He then wrote about werewolves and demons in the ten part Demonata, which began with Lord Loss. He is now an international phenomenon with sales of approximately 15 million copies. His new book, ‘The Thin Executioner’ is a stand alone fantasy novel. As you would expect from Darren Shan, master of horror, this is no ordinary fantasy. It is the unusual tale of a boy who wants to be an executioner when he grows up. Come along and hear Darren talk about his books and his inspiration. You can ask him a question too - if you dare....

Book now through Draíocht’s Box Office on 01-8852622
