The Playful Museums Festival is coming to Limavady this February

The Playful Museums Festival is coming to Limavady in February – offering free fun activities for children aged under 5.

The new initiative is designed to encourage learning and development through a mix of storytelling, arts, music, multi-sensory and interactive experiences.

Speaking about the programme, the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Alderman Maura Hickey said: “This is a great way of introducing the very young to the world of museums. The activities on offer across the region will encourage creativity in a fun and enjoyable way and I would encourage all parents and carers to take their little ones along.”

The Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre in Limavady will welcome the festival on Saturday 4th February from 2pm - 3pm with its ‘Wee Hands on History- Playful Textiles’ event.

The free programme is aimed at children aged between 3 and 5 and they must be accompanied by a parent or carer at all times.
