EXHIBITION – A WAY HOME October 2022
Discover the magic of Halloween at Siamsa Tíre’s Samhain exhibition ‘A Way Home – An Slí Abhaile’. Combining imaginative illustrations and ancient folklore with a modern-day fairy tale, this is an experience that will delight children, families and those of us who are still children at heart.

We were lucky enough to be invited to view this stunning, eclectic exhibition of art work to accompany the folklore tale, ‘A Way Home’.Our pupils responded to the work of the artists before sketching the story themselves. It was a thoroughly interesting day!
