About Cruinniú na nÓg
A day of free creativity for children and young people
Ireland is the first, and only, country in the world to have a national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18. Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan to enable the creative potential of children and young people.
Cruinniú na nÓg returns this June with a nationwide celebration of free creativity for children and young people. Taking place in cities, towns and villages across Ireland, the annual event invites families to take part in hundreds of hands-on workshops, performances and creative experiences designed for all ages.
This year’s programme includes everything from circus skills, graffiti art and hip hop dance workshops to animation, storytelling, theatre, coding, gaming and music-making sessions. Families can also enjoy drawing workshops, LEGO building, craft activities, nature-inspired art, filmmaking, cyanotype printing and creative writing events taking place in libraries, arts centres, museums and community spaces around the country.
Highlights include circus céilís in Galway, Dublin and Belfast, behind-the-scenes theatre tours, interactive fire station family tours, gaming vans, felting and jewellery workshops, storytime sessions, graffiti art at Swords Castle and a wide range of free creative activities for toddlers, children, teenagers and young adults.
Delivered as part of the Creative Ireland Programme in partnership with all 31 Local Authorities, Cruinniú na nÓg continues to offer families a chance to explore creativity together through free events taking place across the country.
