Waffles the Wonderful Magic Show

Waffles the Wonderful is a family magic show at Clondalkin Library, running on Good Friday as part of the Easter school holidays programme. It’s the kind of event that exists because Clondalkin Library takes its community programming seriously: local, accessible, aimed squarely at families with young children.

Magic shows work well for mixed-age audiences. Young children get the spectacle; older kids and adults enjoy watching younger ones react. Waffles the Wonderful is pitched as a show for the whole family, which means the material is designed to land across different ages in the same room.

What to expect

2:30pm on Good Friday at Monastery Road. Good Friday is one of those days when Dublin families are looking for something to do that isn’t a trip to the shopping centre, and a library magic show ticks multiple boxes: free (or low-cost), local, and genuinely entertaining.

The show runs for a set duration; check the Eventbrite page for the full running time and any age suitability details.
