Description

An enchanting contemporary take on the Hansel and Gretel fairytale set in modern-day Galway.

Features locations such as the Spanish Arch, Salmon Weir Bridge and Eyre Square, as Seán and Gráinne seek out the perfect present for their mother.

They pack their lunch for the day and set out on their shopping trip.

On their travels around the city, they meet a knight, a pirate queen and a fisherman.

Sharing their delicious soda bread with each of these character, they accidentally leave a trail of crumbs everywhere they go.

When a wicked witch tries to steal the present they have bought for their mother's birthday, their friends leap to the children's rescue, rewarding the kindness they have been shown. In their hasty retreat from the witch's clutches, Seán and Gráinne are lost in the city.

Luckily, they follow their trail of breadcrumbs all the way home - just in time for the party!
