Paris Bubbles: The Ultimate Bubble Show at glor Ennis

Ray Bubbles is a Guinness World Record holder and International Bubbleologist who has performed his show more than 1,000 times in theatres and science centres across Europe. This Friday morning show at glór Theatre in Ennis runs 60 minutes and is designed for all ages - from toddlers who will simply gawp at what soap and gas can do, to adults who end up just as absorbed. It is a genuinely good choice for families with a mix of ages, and the show was developed through work with SEND schools and adult neurodivergent groups, so it has real thought behind its pacing and sensory appeal.

What to expect

Ray uses different gases to shape and transform bubbles into things you would not expect to be possible. The hour covers a volcano bubble, a soap bubble carousel, a bubble ghost, and a tornado suspended inside a single bubble. He also attempts to form a square bubble - which sounds simple and turns out to be neither simple nor quick to explain. The tone is interactive and theatrical without being loud in the way that some children’s shows can be. Audiences who have seen the show describe it as genuinely surprising for adults, not just a polite sit-through for parents.

Getting there

Ennis is the county town of Clare and sits roughly 35 km north of Limerick on the N18. From Dublin it is about two and a half hours by road via the M7 and M18. Bus Éireann runs regular services into Ennis from Limerick, Galway, and other towns; the main bus stop is a short walk from the venue. If you are driving, glór has a metered car park directly adjacent to the theatre with 90 spaces and one hour free parking. Accessible parking bays are available close to the front entrance.

While you’re in Ennis

Ennis is a good town to spend a Friday in - the market town centre, the old Franciscan friary ruins, and the traditional music scene in the pubs make for a relaxed few hours before or after the show. There is more to see in Ennis and across Co. Clare.
