Cruinniú na nÓg, the annual day of free creativity for children and young people, takes place on Saturday next, 11th June.
The event is being run by Creative Ireland in conjunction with Louth County Council and the Louth Creative Ireland Culture Team.
This year events are are back in-person with a Carnival of Creativity across the county and have an action-packed line up of workshops and activities to offer.
The Cruinniú na nÓg programme encourages children to embrace their creativity and get involved in Arts and Culture and there are events happening in Drogheda.
There will be ‘Thrilling Tales’ from Barlow House, ‘Superstories and Superheros’ in Droichead Arts Centre and a fantastic free workshop by Drogheda Youth Theatre in the Barbican Centre.
Meanwhile in Drogheda Library there will be an exhibition of mixed media sculptures made by members of the Connect Family Resource centre over the past few weeks.
Finally, Drogheda library will also host workshops on 11th June in person where kids will be making Berehynias, traditional dolls from the Ukraine. Ukrainian artist Olga Duka will facilitate the three workshops with the second workshop specifically for Ukrainian children.
All in person events on 11th June are free, but booking is required. Materials will be provided for a selection of the workshops and can be collected in advance from venues.
