Tumble Circus Returns to Donegal This Summer with TALAMH

tumble earagail arts festival 2025 donegal family activities

We’re loading up the van, packing the hoops, and polishing up Grant’s diablo — because Tumble Circus is hitting the road again and heading back to the fantastic Earagail Arts Festival this July!

We’re thrilled to return to Donegal with Talamh, our brand new, all-human, high skill, high thrill circus show — landing in Castlefinn and Dunlewey for two sets of unmissable afternoon performances.

📍 Castlefinn CPI Centre
🗓️ 17th–19th July | 🕞 3.30pm daily
🎪 Featuring: Talamh by Tumble Circus + Dr Jones & Professor Barnard
🎟️ €10 adults / €6 kids / €30 family of 5
Our pals Dr Jones & Professor Barnard will be peddling their highly questionable cure-all ‘Tosh’ — equal parts miracle medicine, cabaret, and pure eejitry. Think music, dancing, jokes, and just enough science to make your eyebrows twitch.

📍 Ionad Cois Locha, Dunlewey
🗓️ 24th–26th July | 🕞 3.30pm daily
🎪 Featuring: Talamh by Tumble Circus + Mo Cheol an Sorcas by Stephen McGinley
🎟️ €10 adults / €6 kids / €30 family of 5
In Dunlewey we’re teaming up with the brilliant Stephen McGinley, whose Mo Cheol an Sorcas blends juggling, music, and Gaeilge into one joyful, interactive circus mash-up. Bring the kids, bring the cúpla focal, and prepare to play along!

We’ve got so much love for the team at EAF, not just for their continued support of Irish circus, but for their commitment to keeping tickets genuinely affordable — even when everything else is going up. With the cost-of-living crisis still hitting so many families hard, they’ve made it possible for everyone to get a dose of summer joy without breaking the bank. That kind of thinking is exactly why we love working with them.

So if you’re looking for things to do in Donegal this summer, grab your gang, grab your grannies, round up the rugrats and come see what we’ve got in store this year. New tricks, old favourites, and a few surprises thrown in for good measure.

Let’s make some circus magic in the hills of Donegal!
