THE ENCHANTED GARDEN: A SUMMER STORYTELLING CELEBRATION

SUNDAY, 5TH JULY ADULT MEMBER: FREE CHILD MEMBER: FREE ADULT NON-MEMBER: €10.50 12 - 18 YEAR OLDS/CONCESSION: €9.50 CHILD NON-MEMBER: €4.00 CHILD (UNDER 4): FREE EVENT DESCRIPTION Originally founded in 2006, Killruddery’s Enchanted Garden continues its evolution this year, placing storytelling at its heart. This Storytelling Day at Killruddery is a gentle, immersive series of encounters, rooted in nature, imagination, and the timeless tradition of sharing stories. This is not a festival. It is a quiet gathering. A day shaped by slow moments, listening, and the simple magic of words spoken aloud beneath the trees. Curated by Killruddery, and now kindly supported by the YARN Storytelling Festival, this year’s programme is designed for wandering rather than scheduling. It brings together a carefully chosen mix of artists and storytellers whose work is rooted in nature and place. Audiences are guided by subtle signposts and the Story Maidens, who lead them between spaces, moving from one sheltered setting to another, as stories repeat throughout the morning and early afternoon. Free for Killruddery Members. Included with garden entry for visitors. We encourage young and old to come dressed as your favourite fairy tale character – whether a dragon, a knight, a woodland sprite or Cinderella – and prepare for a day of joyful memory-making and imaginative adventure. This event is free for Killruddery Members. Yet to become a Killruddery Member?
