St Patrick’s Day Fun at Festina Lente Wicklow
March 17, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Tons of fun activities for children this St Patrick’s Day in Festina Lente Gardens!
Book your child’s place for fun activities and workshops, places are limited so book today!
There are four fun activities & craft workshops that will be happening between 10am to 2pm, see below for more details & pricing!
Mini Trek on a Pony around the Festina Lente Victorian Walled Gardens on one of the fabulous ponies!
It’s St. Patrick’s Day and there are bound to be some little leprechauns lurking about getting ready to join in the celebrations… Why not encourage them to stay around by planting some shamrock and making their own special Leprechaun Garden! Use heaps of shamrocks and other garden materials in the workshop to make a cute leprechaun garden to take home.
Make a cool green St Patrick’s Day homemade candle in a little jar, add essential oils for fragrance, and leave to set. They use soy wax for the candles which is more eco-friendly than paraffin wax. Bring it home and light it up!
Make a lucky St Patrick’s Day friendship bracelet, keep it yourself or give it to family or a friend to share the luck of the Irish!
But that is not all there is to offer you and your family during the day once you book your child’s place, we also have:
Come along to visit the Random Room of Irish Facts & Fun and learn about Ireland’s history & traditions!
Young Person’s Bodhrán group will be providing the live Irish music on the day!
St Patrick’s Day themed Facepainting for kids!
You can buy yummy sausages in a fresh roll with peppers and onions! You can also buy tea, coffee, soft drinks, cakes & goodies as well from the Garden Centre Shop!
Guess how many coins are in the Crock of Gold and win a prize!
