“I put the call out for people to bring in their much-loved teddies—the more loved, unwashed, and falling apart the better—to be photographed. It soon became apparent that the idea appealed very much to adults, and that many of them were still very attached to their teddies. It was as though they had been keeping a long-held secretand could finally tell someone what their teddies really meant to them.”

A wonderful opportunity for an up-close view of a selection of

photographs by acclaimed photographer Mark Nixon of these

unique characters.

Timeless, majestic clocks have become the beautiful signature of many buildings and streets of our historic city. Limerick’s Life has created a short video display to tell of the history of some of these clocks, from the famous clocks that are no longer there to the less well known and more modern clocks. To accompany this video is a treasure hunt which can be played by all ages. The instructions to the treasure hunt can be collected at any time over the course of the festival at No 1 Pery Square Boutique Hotel.

Elemental tells the story of three individuals united by their deep connection with nature and driven to confront some of the most pressing ecological challenges of our time.Separated by continents yet sharing an unwavering commitment to protecting Nature, the characters in this story are complex, flawed, post-modern heroes for whom stemming the tide of environmental destruction fades in and out of view – part mirage, part miracle.

The Bookshop Band are unique. They write songs exclusively inspired by books. They formed as part of the author events at multi-award winning independent bookshop, Mr Bs Emporium Of Reading Delights, in Bath.

The events at Mr B’s remain the core of the band’s songwriting, but the songs and their performances have taken the band all over the UK, as well as overseas to Ireland and mainland Europe. They are regularly featured on the BBC, and their songs are starting to grace the airwaves in Europe, Canada, Australia, the US and Mexico.

Senmaru & Kyouji are performers of “Daikagura”. The original purpose of “Daikagura” was to serve as a talisman for the people, chasing away evil on behalf of the gods of the shrines. Thus, Daikagura was originally a very sacred and serious performance. Today, the performance is becoming people’s entertainment. Senmaru & Kyouji wear “kimono” and perform Japanese traditional tricks. Don’t blink. It’s amazing!

CLUB c.1200, “thick stick used as a weapon,”

from Old Norse klubba, variant of klumba,

related to clump. The social club (1660s)

apparently evolved from this word from the

verbal sense “gather in a club-like mass”, then

as a noun in 1640s to mean an “association

of people”

Elemental invites you to gather with us in a club-like mass, bringing along your favourite words and their origins to share. Or perhaps you have a word about which you’ve always wondered “Now

where did that one come from?”

“… Jermyn and Ford are a

delight, jumping in and out of

a whole host of characters from

Macklin’s life with expert ease…

mixing crazed caricature with a

genuinely felt pathos.”

Irish Theatre Magazine

“Highly original &

extremely funny”

Macklin: Method and Madness is written and performed by Gary Jermyn and Michael James Ford, with a guest appearance by Simon Coury as The Producer. Gary Jermyn is a Dublin-born writer and performer whose most recent works are My Life as a Chatshow Host and Allergic to Beckett. Michael James Ford is an actor and former artistic director of Bewley’s Café Theatre.

It is February 1941. London is being ravaged by the Blitz.In the basement of the BBC a radio play is about to be broadcast to celebrate the life of the legendary 18th Century actor, Charles Macklin, who rose from humble origins in Donegal to a triumphant career on the London stage. Quarrelsome and hot-tempered, Macklin was dogged by controversy, including an infamous backstage killing.
