Hi all,

I've squared it with Daveirl and received his blessing to make this post re Free happenings scheduled for Triskel.

This coming Sunday at 3.00pm sees a public experiment in improvised theatre presented by the "Theatre Makers" working actors workshop. ............... slightly "off-the-wall" but hilarious. Everyone welcome.

Of course, the David Hockney exhibition of lithographs based on the Grimm Brothers fairly tales is currently running until March 17th at the centre.

Further updates to follow as dates etc are confirmed.

Regards,
Jack C.

Decent quality food stalls in the Park during the course of the day.
