Children’s Workshop for Heritage Week

To celebrate Heritage Week 2022, Scéal Heritage Consultancy are back in the Museum for another craft workshop to create and decorate your own toy train! On Sunday 21st August, children aged 7 – 12 years can build, paint, and decorate their own small locomotive train cab, and learn about the story of the first trains.

During the workshop, step on board a real train in the Museum! Experience what it was like to be the train driver, pretend to be a passenger, and discover the exciting history of trains in Ireland! Participation in the workshop is free, but there are only a few spots remaining, so advance booking is essential. Contact scealheritage@gmail.com to book a place on the workshop.
This workshop is kindly supported by Creative Ireland and Roscommon County Council .
