SUMMARY:Cruinniú na nÓg
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, June 15th come along and take part in a Wildlife Treasure Hunt on the grounds of Johnstown Castle. \nThis is a free ticketed event and will involve playing games with Laura Flood and Liz Flynn.  The event is suitable for ages 6-9 (1 guardian per child)\nThere are two times: 11am and 2pm and each one will last approx. 90 minutes. \nWorking with the permaculture principle to ‘observe and interact’\, this fun workshop provokes curiosity of our natural surroundings.

Gaining points throughout the process (the team with the most points wins!)\, the workshop will help children consider how to develop rules and guidelines for games and gaming. \nThis is a free of charge\, ticketed event for children. Please note this event takes place outdoor so please dress for the weather on the day. \nIn association with Wexford County Council and Creative Ireland.

SUMMARY:Pierces Foundry Wexford\, The Rise\, and Fall of an Industrial Giant!
DESCRIPTION:Pierces Foundry Wexford\, The Rise\, and Fall of an Industrial Giant! SOLD OUT!!! \nThis illustrated talk by Myles Miller takes place on 22nd June at 11am in the castle Ballroom. It will give an insight into the Rise and Fall of Pierces Foundry. \nIt will discuss the circumstances around the firm’s formation in the mid-19th century and look at its rise from humble beginnings which would see the firm become the largest foundry in Ireland\, and finally consider its eventual decline and sale by the Pierce family in the 1960s. \nPierce implements can still be found on many farms and in homes throughout Ireland. Plus\, there are still traces of this once mighty foundry to be found throughout Co Wexford. \nThe main entrance to the sheet metal works still survives on the Distillery Road. It is a constant reminder of the many workers who passed through the firm’s gates. At the height of its success the firm built three different terraces of houses for its workers\, Albina Terrace\, Casa Rio and Avenue De Flaunders all of which are still in use today. \nThe railings which surround Wexford’s twin churches were manufactured by the firm\, as was the Castlebridge conservatory. These items were manufactured by hand in the forge of James Pierce. They are works of the most intricate design and testify to the pride and skill of the craftsmen of bygone days. \n**PLEASE NOTE: The talk starts at 11am. Please arrive 15 minutes before start time as talk takes place in the castle.**

SUMMARY:The Johnny Taylor Trio - Night One of June Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Friday June 28th at 7.30pm\, with doors opening at 7.00pm. \nThe Johnny Taylor Trio\, named after one of the finest jazz pianists on the Irish music scene. The trio is one of the most sought after by jazz venues and festivals at home and abroad. No strangers to Jazz at Johnstown audiences\, Johnny\, Barry Donohoe (double bass) and Dominic Mullan (drums)\, will open this year’s Jazz at Johnstown Festival. The concert will take place at the Visitors Centre on Friday evening\, June 28 at the earlier time of 7.30pm. \nThis is a trio whose integrated and disciplined interplay can achieve things a jazz piano trio isn’t supposed to. This endears them to jazz and non-jazz fans alike. The level of invention achieved by exploring fresh and new sources of repertoire – no bullish pyrotechnics – is always challenging and never less than communal. \nThe level of invention they achieve creates a musical experience that you won’t forget easily! An evening with the Johnny Taylor Trio at Johnstown castle is one in which the band and the audience join together in intimacy and energy.
