The Market Place Theatre in Armagh is taking part in this year’s Food & Cider Festival by playing host to some foodie-themed cinema and interactive kids craft activities.
On Friday 10 September, the venue will screen the charming film, ‘Chocolat’, a cinematic love letter to chocolate (and to love itself) on. ‘Chocolat’ stars Juliette Binoche as a captivating chocolatier who brings intrigue, along with her magical confections, to a small French village. Come along and enjoy the movie as well as some chocolate treats which are included in the ticket price.
The kids can get in on the action with one of the weekend’s hands-on workshops. What better way to bake with the famous Co Armagh apple than getting creative with yummy apple cupcakes. Join the cupcake decorating workshop on 11 September which will introduce you to the skills and techniques to create amazing cupcake designs every time. You’ll get hands on experience decorating a box of twelve cupcakes to take home with themes from Disney Descendants. Learn to pipe buttercream like a pro and handle and colour using florist paste. Colour and cut sugar paste to top your cupcakes for a domed finish then complete your creations by sculpting mini apples of various colours, miniature trees and leaves from icing and to complete the look add a sprinkling of coloured sugar for a sparkling finish.
Or if cosmetics are more your thing, come along and create your very own apple themed cupcake bath bomb on 11 September. You will make a fizzy, apple green base before using the secret recipe frosting to pipe a fluffy cupcake swirl using a piping bag and nozzle. Imagination will be required as you decorate your masterpiece with an array of pretty apple themed toppings and sprinkles. Your finished product will be placed in a pretty cupcake case with a red or green ribbon and carried home in a protective dome. The only thing you have to decide is ‘Is it just too pretty to use in the bath?’
All performances will adhere to current social distancing requirements, and with full safety measures in place, you can sit back and relax as you escape from it all this Summer. Tickets for these, and many more experiences, can be purchased by contacting the Box Office on [028] 3752 1821, or online at www.visitarmagh.com/marketplacetheatre
