The workshop room has been a hive of activity over the last month, with Liz Smith's Christmas Inklings workshop in full swing since November 21st. Families and school groups have been having lots of fun creating pull-outs and pop-up cards.

Liz Smith also featured on RTE's Kazoo programme earlier this week - you can catch it here.

Meanwhile, Nico Brown and Martin Brunsden's 'Music at Christmas' is really getting all of us at The Ark in festive spirits. We've put up our Christmas tree and fairy lights in anticipation....
