The Plantin
Step into the magical woods, where mischievous fairies meddle and ancient stories come to life.
The Plantin is an immersive theatre experience for children and families, inspired by Irish and Ulster-Scots folklore and brought to life through physical theatre, puppetry, storytelling and traditional music.
Gather close as our storytellers guide you through strange and playful tales of changelings, trickster fairies and enchanted journeys. Along the way, audiences help shape the adventure, using their imagination to help lift a fairy curse.
Set in an intimate, stage-free space, The Plantin invites children and adults alike to become part of the story. A warm, interactive experience full of myth, mischief and collective wonder, celebrating the rich storytelling and musical traditions of this island.
