Little Ireland Workshop Day ~ Ceardlanna is Comhluadar

Little Ireland Community Gatherings have become a much-loved part of our calendar. This October, we'll squeeze in a short AGM - the all-important underpinning that supports our Collective structure. Join us for bia, comhrá, comh-éisteacht, cearcal nua léitheóireachta agus ealaíon - for food, conversation, listening deeply, a new Irish reading circle and some hands-on making. And there will, of course, be time for some amhránaíocht, some singing as Gaeilge.

Táimid ag tnúth go mór libh a fheiceáil!

"Our cultural heritage and practices are at the heart of our identity" Michael D Higgins, Uachtarán na hÉireannn, speaking on Culture Night in September 2025.

Info: After a light lunch, the board members will share our Annual Report and Accounts (2024-25). We warmly welcome new members to represent special interests on the board and to take the lead in running activities - this is the important next step which will deepen the foundations of our already vibrant collective. Bígí inár gcuideachta a chairde - beidh fáilte mhór romhaibh

Info: Dá Chiorcail/2 groups: 14.30-15.20 & 15.40-16.30

Info: Seán has wanted to start a reading group for ages - we thought that today would be a perfect time to test out the idea. You're welcome to bring along and read excerpts from some favourite books by Irish writers - all towards choosing the first book you'll read as a group. We imagine this project working best online and, if you agree, that can begin very soon!

Info: Artist and arts educator Laura Cullen promises to bring some exciting materials to the Art Room, where we will get stuck in and probably a bit messy as we create something beautiful out of almost nothing!

Info: Fáilte ó chroí gu Catríona (Cat), an award-winning sean-nós singer who joins us from Edinburgh Comhaltas! She'll work on one simple song 'as Gaeilge', which will be perfect for those who are new to Irish. If you're ready to get stuck in, déirdre will also be available and happy to work on Irish and Scottish Gaelic songs. It's an informal, relaxed workshop that can spread out over more than one space.
