About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

If the "TICKETS" button does not show up on your phone, please book via a computer - there seems to be an issue with Eventbrite and mobile phones...

Join us for an evening of music, words, and pictures.

  • Part of the 2024 Skerries Eco Festival.

The Skerries Ukulele Strummers will open the night with a selection of their much-loved songs.

Our two speakers:

  • Niamh Burke, Ecologist: Biodiversity in the Centre of Skerries: The Wonders of Skerries Town Parks

Niamh is the author of the recent biodiversity report and action plan on that area surrounding Skerries Mills.


  • Sharon Keilthy, Founder & CEO of online eco toy store jiminy.ie: Inspiring a playfully sustainable future, one toy at a time.


Hans Zomer, Sustainable Skerries, will then reveal his selection for the 2024 Skerries Eco Festival Photo Challenge Exhibition. The exhibition will be on view during the festival and afterwards for two weeks in the Café at Skerries Mills.

Purchase a Festival Pass for €20 (€10 for those on low income) and you can book this and all other events for free (subject to availability).

All proceeds from ticket sales go towards our eco festival and sustainable projects around Skerries. Many of our speakers and biodiversity walk guides have volunteered their time, or given us a significantly reduced rate. We truly appreciate this!
