About

This event is organised by The Portico of Ards, Portaferry. This event has been submitted by a third party, please note, details are subject to change.

 

Cre8 Theatre is delighted to present a new play that provides a heartwarming trip down memory lane with stories from the Ards Peninsula. The wonderful characters who call this special place home have countless tales to tell - from farmers sharing wisdom over field gates to neighbours gathered around kitchen tables, each story is a thread in the rich tapestry of peninsula life.

Having listened to many stories in local community groups, these treasured memories have now been woven into a heartwarming play that celebrates the spirit and character of our community. Come along and immerse yourself in these familiar tales - you might just recognise a yarn or two, or perhaps hear echoes of stories passed down through your own family.

From the fields to the shoreline, from bustling market days to quiet evening conversations, these are the stories that make the Ards Peninsula the remarkable place we know and love.
