A Magical Woodland

Immersive play encounters with Joanna Parkes, for 2–4 year olds

Explore a Magical Woodland for Culture Night – an immersive play experience for 2- to 4-year-olds, created by Joanna Parkes with Clonmel Junction Arts Festival, exploring woodland sounds, tastes, smells and movement.

Join us as we transform an everyday space located in the Showgrounds Shopping Centre in Clonmel into a creative, fun and engaging sensory play experience for young children aged 2 to 4 years old.

This immersive play experience will be a child-led experience, so the children are free to discover and investigate, to follow their natural curiosity and explore what catches their interest. All children should be accompanied by a parent, carer or guardian who is encouraged to follow the child’s lead, observe what interests them and join in their play.

All children must be accompanied by a parent, carer or guardian. One adult may accompany more than one child aged 2 to 4, provided they are responsible for all children in their care and are able to actively engage with and support them throughout the play session.

Please note: All children must be accompanied by an adult/s. Every adult and child attending must reserve an individual space when booking.

Duration of each session is 45 minutes.

Session 1: 4pm – 4:45pm

Session 2: 5pm – 5:45pm 

Session 3: 6pm – 6:45pm
