Check this out, and its all happening in our yard!

Why not Create a Memory Stone for the An Tulca Finale!?
We invite everyone — families, friends, and neighbours —
to take part in this shared ritual.
Pick up a flat stone (maybe at the beach) about the size of your palm or bigger if you like, then either paint & varnish it, or use a chalk marker to write something, it can be as simple or as detailed as you like, be creative, but know it is a gift to another...
a Samhain message, memory, or blessing.
Bring your stone to the finale and you will be guided on where to exchange these gifts as part of the unfolding story. Sat 1st Nov 9pm -9.45pm Songs at the Threshold by Yvonne Coughlan after the Céilí in the big tent beside the Kinsale Youth Theatre Yellow building, P17KC80. All events free and open to all ages from youth to elders. Intergenerational collaboration encouraged.

📸✨ What a brilliant day at Saile!

Kinsale Youth Theatre Project had so much fun meeting so many amazing students today at the Kinsale Your Support Services schools event at Sáile - Kinsale Community Centre! 🎭💫

Our family portrait dress-up session was full of laughter, creativity, and colour, and we loved telling everyone all about the upcoming Kinsale An Túlca Halloween Festival aka Kinsale Halloween Parades and events and workshops all free and participatory! 👻🎃

Huge thanks to KYSS, Ger Rice, and all the wonderful volunteers, community workers, and local groups who made today such a fantastic success. 🌟

Today’s sessions were facilitated by Yvonne Coughlan, with Katy Mullins taking over for Day 2 tomorrow, we can’t wait to see even more smiling faces!
