The Misadventures of the Three Little Pigs
At Leisureland · Leisureland, Salthill, Galway, Co. Galway
At Leisureland · Leisureland, Salthill, Galway, Co. Galway
Leisureland’s Salthill theatre hosts a sing-along stage version of the classic fairytale this August, aimed squarely at younger children and their families. The Misadventures of the Three Little Pigs is a touring family production built around music and audience participation rather than a straight retelling, and it lands on a Saturday afternoon slot that suits a day out by the seafront.
Leisureland describes the show as “a feel good, sing-your-heart-out, dance-in-your-seat production for the whole family,” with the three pig characters bumbling, boogying and building their way through a fairytale world. It is pitched at children from age 2 up, with the kind of broad physical comedy, catchy songs and simple audience call-and-response that works for a mixed-age crowd of toddlers and older siblings alike. Expect a single performance rather than a full run, staged as a matinee.
Leisureland itself does not handle ticket sales directly for touring shows like this one - booking runs through Ticketmaster Ireland, and the venue’s own events page directs enquiries about pricing and availability to the promoter rather than listing a fixed price on site.
Leisureland sits on the seafront in Salthill, about a 15-minute drive or a flat, scenic walk of roughly 30-40 minutes from Galway city centre along the promenade. City Direct and Bus Eireann services run regularly from Eyre Square out to Salthill, with a journey time of around 15 minutes. There is a large car park on site at Leisureland, though it can fill up on busy weekend afternoons, particularly with the promenade and beach close by.
Salthill’s promenade, the diving boards at Blackrock, and the seafront amusements are all within a few minutes’ walk of Leisureland, making it easy to build a full family day out around the show. There is more to see in Galway and across Co. Galway.
