Fun for all the Family in Halla na Féile

Following their sell out performances at the Galway Art Festival, Higgledy Piggledy follows three, not so little pigs in an epic fairytale adventure. Watch them as they brave the big city to make their fortune and get that dream house. However dreams can cause surprising turns in events, such as battles on the high seas with pirates and giant monsters! ‘Higgledy Piggledy’ is a visual feast of the misuse of ladders, slapstick clowns, circus tricks, puppetry and cartoon foolery. Surprises galore, thrills and spills for families of all ages.

This will be followed by Amani Acrobats, who perform a combination of African and European styles of acrobatics. Their show “Hakuna Matata” includes hoop diving, hat juggling and some amazing balancing feats and is guaranteed to entertain young and old.

Date	Sunday, 15th November
Time	3.00-4.00pm
Venue	Halla na Féile
Cost	Free

	About Us Cashel Arts Festival is a 10 day festival of music, dance, visual art, theatre, comedy, talks, poetry, street performance, family and children's events. Now in its seventh year, Cashel Arts Festival provides opportunities for all sections of the community to engage with a variety of art disciplines in an enjoyable and meaningful way. The small voluntary committee work hard year round to bring an exciting and varied programme of events to Cashel each November. Cashel Arts Fest 2009 has been a great success. We've marvelled at the talent of the young exhibitors in the Council Chambers, listened to the wonderful sounds of Anuna and the Cairde String Quartet, laughed with David O'Dohery and been thoroughly entertained by Wonderland Productions La Locandiera. Thank you to all of you who took part, volunteered and helped during the festival. We're looking forward to Feile Fidelma 10th-12th September 2010 and are busy planning Cashel Arts Fest 2010!
