Rain, Hail or Sunshine – How It All Works! | With Joanna Donnelly and Fuchsia MacAree
The weather is something we get an awful lot of in Ireland – and it’s something we love to talk about. Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue? Or what makes a rainbow? Or why it feels colder on top of a mountain?
Then you will love this event with much-loved meteorologist Joanna Donnelly and prolific illustrator Fuchsia MacAree.
Packed with interesting facts and mind-blowing experiments, this event based on their new book The Great Irish Weather Book (Gill Books) will have you totally absorbed –whatever the weather!

If so, Hibernica Finch has set you a challenge.
