Join us this Saturday from 10am–2pm for an inspiring and interactive community performance experience as part of Midleton Arts Festival.
This immersive event invites the community to come together as a living work of art, weaving connections through creativity, nature, folklore, and ritual.
Throughout the morning, participants can explore a range of hands-on activities including working with natural tree pigments, creating message sticks with pledges to the Earth, learning weaving techniques, contributing to a collaborative willow web, and making a Wandering Web rescue jar. Visitors will also have the opportunity to connect their creations to the Bean Feasa — the wise woman and nature spirit at the heart of the experience.
At 1pm, join the Bean Feasa and the four elements for a gentle eco-ritual procession down Main Street, arriving at the lodge to experience a labyrinth of transformation. Attendees are encouraged to dress in nature-inspired outfits and become part of the living artwork.
The event also features storytelling rooted in folklore, biodiversity, traditional medicine, and planting practices, culminating in a communal planting ritual in the spiral garden.
Also appearing on the day:
- Gary McSweeney, “making an exhibition of himself”
- Performers from the Buskers Competition
Visitors are encouraged to explore the full Midleton Arts Festival programme online and book tickets for tonight’s play reading and other festival events.
