Story: Chrissy Meleady
The Craic was mighty in Pitsmoor Adventure Playground on St Patrick’s Day.
Molly Hanley, aged 10, of the Scoil Rince Carney School of Irish Dance, West Cork, Ireland, accompanied and supported by Lucy Wragg, aged 11 of Mylnhurst School, undertook a masterclass in Traditional Irish Dancing at the Playground. Seventy two children and young people attended, providing an opportunity for them and their families to take part in Irish Dancing and music.
Patrick Meleady said, “These opportunities help to celebrate and reflect some of the rich cultural heritage of Burngreave and Sheffield as a whole and build community cohesion.”
Abrar, aged 11, said, “It was a great day. We had a go at learning how to do Irish Dancing – it’s harder than it looks on the telly!”
Olga, aged 9, said, “It was brilliant and the Irish Dancing was great.”
