"A large yellow digger was clearing a space in Rossmore Park for the new playground when it hit something metal"... Join us to hear more!

As part of this years inaugural 'Drumlin Storytelling Festival' we are having a free, family-friendly event on Saturday 21st September in Rossmore Park.

Paul Bond will tell some of the history of the Drumlin Giants and how he came up with the story about Muireann and Juan McKenna.

As part of this event we would like to involve kids in a story writing challenge. It's open to primary school children and we will select three stories to receive a prize and will also ask the kids to read these stories as part of our event if they are feeling comfortable with that (note you can still attend for the fun, even if you have not entered a story).

The only criteria is that the story can only be 333 words long , and must begin: "A large yellow digger was clearing a space in Rossmore Park for the new playground when it hit something metal. When they dug around it they saw that it was a Giant Robot, which seemed to be hundreds of years old, and clasped in it's hand was a large golden key....."

The stories would need to be completed by September 18th. They can be emailed to paul@brixworkwear.com

Oh, and as the story about Muireann involves water, there is a very, very, very good chance that there will be a water fight at the end of our event so bring a change of clothes!
