🫶 A wonderful celebration 🫶

20th May 2026

Today we held our annual Grandparents Day Celebration. 

Grandparents hold such a special place in children’s lives. You are the people who spoil them just enough, tell the best stories, give the warmest hugs and always seem to know the right thing to say. The love, care and support you give means more than words can say, and we know how lucky our children are to have you in their lives.
There’s an old saying that “Grandparents make the world a little softer, a little kinder and a little warmer,” and I think that’s very true.

 

We were thrilled to share a performance with some classics such as 'You are my sunshine', 'Go Lassie Go' and 'Caledonia'. We had poems, feadóg playing, songs and of course a demonstration of our jiving and line dancing skills from Sandra Ganleys Jiving Juniors workshops.

 

Grandparents, nana, granny, mamó, dado, granddad and Nanny then joined the children for a very special waltz.

 

It was a wonderful celebration and we hope everyone had a wonderful day.
