Creativity Centre in March starting with the Design the Future family workshop for
Engineer's Week on Saturday 5th March at 3pm (€5 per person). Come along and meet an engineer or two, be inspired by some engineering feats of the past and design and make your vision for the future. This workshop is available for schools from 29th February to 4th March, but hurry as most slots are now booked.

Create a Patrick's Day/Spring artwork/craft, listen to
some stories and maybe tell some of your own, find the Leprechaun's
pot of gold and have a wander through the Fairy Trail in the forest.
