Playful Museums Festival returns with family storytelling in Ballymoney and Coleraine
Aimed at children aged under 5, the activities and storytelling are themed around princes, princesses, castles and knights in celebration of HM The Queen’s platinum jubilee and coincide this week with Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week.
Council’s Museums Service will share ideas and inspiration throughout the week on their Facebook pages to encourage children to try something new and explore beyond their comfort zone into a new realm of possibility and potential.
