Time: 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join Circus250 for a fun-filled afternoon celebrating Water Heritage Day on Sunday 23 August in Keel, Achill Island.

From helping to care for one of Ireland’s most beautiful beaches to enjoying a hilarious family circus show, this special event is all about celebrating our coastline, exploring our relationship with the environment and discovering how small actions can make a big difference.

Clown-Led Beach Clean

12:00pm – 1:00pm
Meet by Keel Playground, F28, EA47

Who says a beach clean can’t be fun?

Join our climate clown as we work together to help keep beautiful Keel Beach clean. Expect plenty of laughter, a few surprises and the chance to make a real difference to the local environment.

Litter pickers and rubbish bags will be provided, all you need to bring is yourself and a willingness to get involved!

Suitable for all ages.

Juanita’s Big Problem

3:00pm – 4:00pm
Keel Community Hall, F28 XA33

After the beach clean, join us for Juanita’s Big Problem – a hilarious circus performance exploring one of the biggest challenges facing our oceans: plastic pollution.

Blending clowning, physical comedy and circus, this family-friendly show invites audiences to laugh, think and discover how even small changes can have a positive impact on the world around us.

Suitable for families and audiences of all ages.

We’d love you to join us for one event or, even better, spend the whole afternoon celebrating Water Heritage Day together.
