Aisling Children's Arts Festival 2009

Calling all you drama queens and kings, all you budding artists. Its time to sharpen those pencils and project those voices. Aisling is back in town!

We're kicking off with our free family open day which is packed full of entertainment from home and abroad. We have Mr. Toons who lives in a balloon and the Gombeen Men who live up to their name! There's face painting, bouncing castles, free workshops and watch out for our furry friends.

Roll up for your theatre seats ... Backstage Theatre is as always brim full of excitement, a little drama, a little comedy, a sprinkling of magic and storytelling. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Our workshop programme has something for everyone. Pick your favourites and get in the queue.

A big thank you to all our sponsors for their generous support. Special mention to Backstage Theatre without whom the Festival would not be possible and also to St Mel's College, The Temperance Hall and all our outreach venues.

Finally to our hardworking committee who are working all year round to bring this festival to the children of Longford.

Thanks to each and everyone of you.
Maria.
