The weekend is upon us once again and it’s a special one if you’re a little person. Besides the prospect of Easter eggs, the Tír na nÓg family festival is in full swing and there’s plenty to do over the next few days…

EASTER SATURAY

1. Caball Toymaster on Bridge Street will  host puppet shows, which will take place from 10.30am to 12.30pm. To keep the party going, throughout the day the store will be holding free draws for the chance to get your hands on some Easter Eggs.

It looks like it will be a busy one so it is advised to arrive early to avoid disappointment.

2. Get dressed up and bring your running (and dancing) shoes…
