About My Friend Selkie

Selkie is learning about the stars. Jo needs to learn to swim. Can they help each other?

With live music by Quee MacArthur (ex Shooglenifty), children are invited to take part.

See you at the Crab Disco!

*In Celtic folk tales, a Selkie is a mythical creature who appears to be a person on land yet changes with their Selkie coat to become a seal in the sea.
