A Midsummer Night’s Dream - Shakespeare's hilarious and fantastical comedy is up-cycled and re-wired for the environmental generation. Our unsuspecting mortals, camped at an environmental protest, are unaware of the fairies lurking in the woods, ready as ever to unleash magic and mayhem upon any human who dares to venture into the mystical wood. Join Oberon, Titania, and the ever-playful Puck as we weave our way through this tale of tangled lovers, warring fairies, and hapless human beings. Using Shakespeare’s timeless imagery, we emphasise the importance of the environment and using our earth’s resources wisely. The costumes and sets will all be made from recycled materials, and we hope our audiences will get into the spirit and bring along some upcycling ideas of their own. We have a limited number of picnic tables for groups of 6 available or you can bring your own chair, so dress in weather appropriate clothing, pack your picnic and join Heartbreak Productions for Shakespeare's eco-centric, outdoor-theatre favourite, A Midsummer Night's Dream! Suitable for age: 9+ To book your please visit the website.

Did you know there are eight species of bats in Northern Ireland or that swifts, on leaving their nest for the first time, are airborne for 2-3 years before they land for the first time! Would you like to learn more about bats, swifts and local wildlife in Enniskillen? If so, registration is now open to join a ‘Wild About the Workhouse’ guided walk taking place around Enniskillen on Friday 2 July and Friday 23 July 2021 at 8.30 pm. These walks, organised by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, are part of the Enniskillen Workhouse Project in partnership with South West College with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The Enniskillen Workhouse is currently home to swifts during the spring and summer months and bats potentially all year round. Nesting swifts and bats are both protected species, therefore, as part of the restoration of the workhouse to create a business enterprise and heritage hub, the Council is protecting and enhancing the nesting and roosting spaces that are there by following specialist guidance on construction timings, building advice and appropriate mitigation. The walks will be on footpaths and walkways around Enniskillen town at night taking in Enniskillen Castle and Fermanagh Lakeland Forum. To find out more and book your place on a ‘Wild About the Workhouse’ guided walk, please email biodiversity@fermanaghomagh.com Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis as numbers are restricted to 15 per walk.
