Activities & Events

Top quality children's and family activities and events can be truly inspirational for youngsters and present a fantastically rewarding way for adults and kids to spend time together. This section of the site is dedicated to promoting the best such forthcoming events we are aware of so that the events listing page provides details of inspirational things you can take the kids in your life to in the coming months. Clearly the depth of coverage we are able to offer is limited by what we are aware of. So, if you are involved in putting something on for families or children and it doesn't currently appear in our listing please use the events posting facility to send us details which, providing the event is appropriate, will be added to the listings. At present the emphasis is on activities taking place primarily in Ireland, with some noteworthy events in Britain also, but it is our aspiration that with the help of users of the site the events listing can build into a global resource on events for kids and families. This will not only allow visitors to the site to identify what's on for them locally but enable them to incorporate an event elsewhere into a family trip or holiday. Lastly, it will allow anyone interested in replicating or creating a variant of a listed event to easily find a relevant contact who can provide them with pertinent information. If there is anything you would like to comment on concerning this section of the site we will be delighted to hear from you through the contact us facility. Meanwhile you will find below three featured events drawn from our current listing of children's and family events we are aware of that are scheduled to take place from the end of September 2007 onwards.
