Mythical performers, entertainers, dancers and musicians will provide Twilight thrills for kids and their grown-ups. In a swirl of sparkles and a fluttering of wings, good natured woodland pixies and fairies will pop from amongst the autumn splendour to weave enchanting tales.

One of Europe’s most celebrated folk ensembles, The Armagh Rhymers who recently performed at Glastonbury Music Festival will blend the art of mumming, poetry, music, drama, song and dance. While a beacon lighting and Lantern Parade will add shine to the evening of enchantment.
