SANTA’S MOViGLOO is coming soon to the Art Deco Theatre in Ballymote, Sligo. Kieran Griffiths from the Hawk's Well Theatre popped in to tell us all the details.Hawk’s Well launches Ireland’s cosiest Christmas experience at the Art Deco Theatre in Ballymote!This December, families in Sligo - and visitors from across Ireland - can forget queues in the rain and long drives in the dark of winter: Santa’s Movigloo is here. Created especially with families in mind, this brand-new immersive Christmas experience marks Hawk’s Well’s very first production at the newly acquired Art Deco Theatre in Ballymote, with 22 magical performances only – designed to make Christmas memories for children and the grown-ups who come with them.Families step straight inside to magic, music, mischief and movies: Meet Santa in his BIG glowing holiday igloo. Meet our MOViGLOO band, Elf and Safety, who have songs to sing and plenty of mischievous tricks up their sleeves. Relax with a festive film while you wait.It’s everything in one ticket, one trip - Santa + film + music + gift + photo - all on your doorstep in Sligo.No long queues in the cold, no cross-country travel, no stress. Just cosy, magical memories. In our imaginations, the family adventure of visiting Santa comes with soft falling snow, frosted wonderlands and the perfect Christmas photo. The reality in Ireland is often very different - biting winds, battering rain, dampened spirits. Movigloo changes all that. Warm, welcoming and full of fun, every moment of the visit becomes part of the experience.Hawk’s Well wants to make the gift-giving experience even more special. Alongside the traditional present from Santa, each child receives the ‘Gift of Creativity’ - 2,000 hours of tuition, thanks to a partnership with Music Generation Sligo, Sligo Sports & Recreation Partnership, and Infinity Stage School. This incredible initiative gives young people the chance to explore music, culture, and sport in a fun, supportive space.Getting here is easy too! The Art Deco is just a 6-minute walk from Ballymote Train Station, and with free train travel for under-8s, it’s the perfect festive day out for families.“As a parent, I know the challenge - sometimes the wait can feel longer than the visit itself, or it’s a late drive into the countryside in the dark and in terrible weather conditions,” said Kieran Griffiths Director of Hawk’s Well Theatre. “We wanted Movigloo to be different: warm, welcoming and joyful, but with all the magic of Christmas. Every minute adds to the magic, not the stress. We wanted to design something which appealed to the child, the parent and the child within the parent.” For more information and episodes check out The Sligo Show websitehttps://thesligoshow.ie/The Sligo Show is presented by Brendan Tierney & Produced by Pixel Productionshttps://pixelproductions.ie/

Be it friends or family or the numerous physio sessions, their value was paramount to making a good stab at recovering. My partner Maggie's input was most valued, her support was key from the outset at a very uncertain time and her positive outlook and willing me on just shows the importance of a support network for patient recovery & the indirect impact of a physical trauma on those closest to the person who has taken ill. There is never a full recovery from stroke related illness more a growing capacity to deal with the fallout of the incident” – Sean Flannery For more information and episodes check out The Sligo Show websitehttps://thesligoshow.ie/The Sligo Show is presented by Brendan Tierney & Produced by Pixel Productionshttps://pixelproductions.ie/
