For this year’s celebrations STAC is delighted to offer a whole day of in-person fun, inspired by arguably one of the most popular children’s authors of all time, Roald Dahl.Our amazing tutors will transform STAC’s workshop into the Oompa Loompa Workshop - a wild and wacky environment where children - from the tiny tiddlers to the most giganticus can spend an hour or two immersed in the wondiferous world of Wonka.  

After two years of exclusively online Cruinniú na nÓg celebrations, we are excited to invite the public into STAC for this very special day of celebrating the creativity of our younger citizens.  The activities will be suitable for children of all ages and can be as simple (or as complicated!) as you like!  

Join us for a glimpse behind the curtain inside the Oompa Loompa workshop.
