Cruinniú na nÓg, a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Creative Youth Plan, is Ireland’s national day of free creativity for children and young people.  

This year Cruinniú na nÓg returns on the 6th of June, bringing an exciting programme of 21 free events across County Carlow. From Tullow to Carlow Town to Bagenalstown, the county will come alive with opportunities for young people to imagine, experiment, and create. 

This year’s programme offers a wide range of hands-on activities, including kite making, nail art, hut weaving, painting, engineering challenges, film screenings, and even a journey back to the age of dinosaurs. Every event is designed to encourage children and young people to explore and let their creative spark soar. 

Cruinniú na nÓg is all about children and young people. 

Every event is free. For full event listings and booking details, please check out the local Cruinniú na nÓg programme booklet or visit the website below. 

Cruinniú na nÓg Carlow is organised and managed by Carlow County Council Arts Service as part of the Creative Ireland Programme.
