What people say about Baboró

What Children say:

I think it’s a good idea because it’s not too adulty, it’s all for us
Very, very, very, very great
I like when things have different endings to what you think
Kind of scary, but funny scary
It’s not like things you see on telly, it’s better when you can see the people
It’s much better than school
I’d like to be on stage too

What Parents say:

We had a great time, thanks. My boys 1 and 3 years loved it. Keep up the good work
Fantastic experience for babies
Great, Mums, Granny and Granda loved it, also the kids. Brill idea
Awesome!
Excellent, thanks, we will come again next year all the way from Kerry
Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for last night. It was SUPERB! The kids really enjoyed it, as did I… it really takes seeing it to appreciate the work which goes into organising it…really really fantastic

What Teachers say:

Baboró is an integral part of the school year with children beginning to talk about it almost as soon as they start back in September
Ticket prices are just right
Provides the children with something to think and talk about for some time after
Baboró is unique

What Sponsors and Friends say:

It’s obvious that Baboró is loved in the local community and this reflects well on us
Deliver what they promise to deliver
Great value for money
Because of the nature of my business it makes good commercial sense to sponsor the festival
A very good idea in my opinion. Wish I was seven again!
