Ireland is the first, and only, country in the world to have a national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18. Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth plan to enable the creative potential of children and young people. This year, Cruinniú - now in it's 3rd year will be a completely digital festival with a myriad of online events taking place throughout the country on Saturday 13th June.

This week Roisin O'Grady, Tipperary's Cruinniú na nÓg Co-Ordinator joined us for a cuppa culture to talk about the changes to the festival this year, and the many free events and ways to connect with them. It's fair to say that this year, more than ever, the arts need our support, and the projects here in Tipperary vary across a wide range of creative activities. There's sure to be something to suit every age and interest. Visit the Cruinniú website and start planning your day now!
