Step into the Shanganagh Park woodland and discover nature in new and surprising ways. This immersive, family-friendly experience invites children and adults to explore the forest through their senses—feeling textures, listening closely, and seeing the world from the perspective of woodland creatures.
Follow a short guided “Badger Walk,” explore tiny ecosystems in the “Bug Eye Circle,” and create your own clay creatures in the “Bird’s Eye Circle.” Along the way, you’ll be encouraged to slow down, look closer, and connect with both what is hidden and what is seen in the natural world.
A creative, hands-on experience designed to spark curiosity, imagination, and a sense of wonder.
This event is part of a a fun‑filled family adventure near the musical instruments at Shanganagh Park where families of all ages are invited to join us as we bring movement, music, and nature‑inspired creativity to the park.
Children have told us they wanted to take part in their local neighbourhood and parks – we have responded by programming an exciting morning. Come along and enjoy art and nature workshops, drumming and music sessions, dance workshops, and live performances by talented young local musicians. You can also catch pop‑up interactive performances from Irish National Opera and try out the musical instruments already in the park.
No need to book—just come along! A full schedule of activities, including the exact times of each music and dance workshop, will be shared closer to the day.
