Custard Pie Puppets is back in Athlone Castle! This popular puppet theatre company will showcase a unique, Irish adaptation of a ‘Punch and Judy’ show. This ‘Punch and Judy’ show tells a story of a very naughty Mr. Punch that is left with the task of minding the baby while Judy gets busy with other important chores. Mr. Punch’s inability to take on the simplest of chores leads to hilarious consequences involving the Gardaí! A must see for all the family.
Custard Pie Puppets will perform two ‘Punch and Judy’ shows for children.
This free event does not include admission to Athlone Castle Visitor Centre.
This event at Athlone Castle, Co. Westmeath is supported by the Heritage Council under the Irish Walled Towns Network 2022 Interpretation Fund.

Visit our 13th century castle and experience history brought alive…
Athlone Castle was first built to defend the crossing point on the River Shannon and evolved into a bold defensive structure over the centuries. Elements of the original castle can still be seen today.
We tell the story of settlement in this part of Ireland’s Ancient East, from the Neolithic period through Viking, and Medieval ages to modern life in Athlone.
