Welcome to Ardagh Tree Fairies

Yesterday (20th August 2017) was the day when the first ten Ardagh Tree Fairies revealed themselves to the human world. Residing in the woods and garden of Ardagh Neighbourhood Park the fairies have kindly agreed to share their knowledge of trees, customs, ogham and legends with any children and adults who would like to learn more.
Follow the tabs above and you will see the image of themselves that each fairy showed Annette along with the spell they whispered in Ann's ear. More information will be added to each tab later, so be sure to keep checking in.
Daire, Aising, Sally, Rowan, Adam, Cora, Bernard, Hazel, Holly and Hugh, the Ardagh Tree Fairies have promised to share their stories with us and maybe even reveal their normal Sidhe form later, because as you may know Irish fairies are not really tiny things with wings.
For now here are some photos from yesterday's launch event which coincided with Heritage Week and the Sixth Anniversary of Ardagh Heritage and Creativity Centre. Come along for Wild Child Day on Wednesday 23rd to hear more about the new arrivals. Full details here.
