Organised by Cork City Council, Creative Ireland and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Cork City Cruinniú na nÓg encourages children and young people’s participation in culture and creativity through a wonderful spread of performances, theatre, art, readings, screenings and special events.
All these child-centred events are free and activity based with plenty of opportunities for young people to get ‘doing’, making and creating.
Cork City Cruinniú na nÓg events cover the whole city. Children aged 0 to 18 will find something in the programme to excite and delight them. Watch a film in Triskel Christchurch or take part in a creative walking tour at St Peter’s. Discover art work you have never seen before at the Glucksman and the Crawford Art Gallery. Enjoy a family fun afternoon in the Ballincollig Gunpowder Mills, children’s puppet shows in Elizabeth Fort and early years arts play experiences in Graffiti Theatre. Douglas Library and the Grand Parade Library will present a new theatre piece for children while there will be music, dance and craft workshops in Douglas Community Park. Rebel Streets, a specially created Street Art Festival will take place in the Lido Building and on the streets of Blackpool.
