Cruinniú na nÓg: Day of free creative activity for young people

From knitting to drumming and stop-start animation, Cruinniú na nÓg 2021 offers a diverse programme of events for children of all ages 

Naoise Ó Dálaigh, a Midleton primary-school pupil, is taking part in TG4’s new creative series for children – Cruthaím – celebrating Cruinniú na nÓg. 

A circus factory in Carrigaline, a live interactive workshop on up-cycled clothes in Louth and Dublin Zoo inviting young people to explore animals without backbones – it’s all on the programme for Cruinniú na nÓg on Saturday, June 12. 

Ireland is unique worldwide in having such a national day for young people and it’s a key date in our cultural calendar, with over 600 events planned by Creative Ireland culture and creativity teams in local authorities nationwide.
