A Stormy Day in Dalkey

22 Aug 2026 - 11:00 AM to 12:00 PMDLR Dalkey

Event

Early Years Music Workshop (Ages 3–6, with parent/guardian accompaniment)

Join music workshop facilitator Carrie Harding BA, MA, for a fun and imaginative workshop where children will help create an audio storybook inspired by a stormy day.

Using instruments, everyday objects, body percussion and their voices, the children will bring a woodland storm to life, guided by a simple story created by Carrie as a starting point.

The children’s sounds, voices and artwork will then be transformed into a short digital audio storybook, which will be shared with all parents and guardians whose children took part in the workshop.

Book your place now for this exciting and creative early years experience!
