Playful Museums Festival returns
Wed, February 07, 2018
The Playful Museums Festival is returning to the Causeway Coast and Glens this month offering free fun activities for children.
Through storytelling, music and arts and crafts, they can explore the world of museums in an interactive and educational way.
The festival will take place in Portnagree House in Ballycastle on Thursday 15th February and Ballymoney Town Hall on Friday 16th February. These free events have been funded by the Northern Ireland Museums Council and Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. Drop in sessions allow children, aged 3+, to explore and enjoy the activities at their own pace. Younger or older siblings are also welcome.
Ballymoney Town Hall will host the Nerve Centre’s Fab Lab on Friday 16th February from 11am-4pm. Children aged 11 and over can participate in laser and vinyl cutting and find out how digital fabrication tools such as 3D printing are used. There will also be an opportunity to try out some virtual reality headsets where children can have an immersive experience of racing the NW 200 track.
