Plyscape is a chance for young people to come together and build shared experiences through an exciting day-long workshop.

Children and their carers are invited to explore and spend time together in this beautiful sensory play space for children of 3 years and up designed to explore a variety of materials (wood, stone, sand, mirrors, modelling clay, fabric) and processes (weaving, plaiting, drawing, making, arranging).

The Rush play day on the 11th June is part of the celebrations in Fingal for Cruinniú na nÓg and will focus on the joy of play and creativity and how to encourage this playfulness and creativity at the heart of our cities and towns.
