Once Upon A Sound at the Hide Sculpture sees acclaimed broadcaster Donal Dineen take us on a deep exploration of music in the company of some of the finest music makers in the land. Together they will tell the story of their sound, the songs, the instruments and their connection to them.
In each series, they will perform at the Hide Sculpture, a sculpture by artist Garrett Phelan that invites contemplation and deep listening.
It is located along the Rogerstown Estuary and home to a diverse population of resident and migrating birds that have chosen this place as their home.
Fingal County Council has just completed the first phase of a wetland development project in the Turvey Nature Park in Donabate.
In this phase completed this year, an existing wetland area was extended and a new two-acre wetland area was created.
A new Sandmartin Hut was also installed which is the first of its kind in Ireland.
Building on this progress next year the Council intends to construct another two large wetland areas to create a connected series of freshwater ponds and wetlands in the Nature Park.
It is envisaged that this will attract a wider range of plants and animals to the park.
