Anyone who saw the Gap’s Giant Puppets in the Patrick’s Day parade will be excited to hear that the puppet designer, Caoimhe Dunn, will perform at the Picnic@TheGap in the Community Field. Ballythomas, on Sunday Aug 13th.
The Gap Festival weekend will host live theatre, music, art workshops, family-friendly late-night outdoor movies.
We started the Picnic@TheGap to deal with live performance and bringing people together during the lockdown/s. The combination of live music, pageant, the Inflatable Cinema, circus acts and circus workshops proved so popular that we ran the event again in 2022 – with such as the Stilt Lady and the Polar Bear (See pic)
Caoimhe and Dominic will entertain the crowds with a walkaround performance – and their beautifully designed Snail.
