These include a book reading and art workshop for children in Úna Bhán Tourism, Boyle. Trudy Callaghan will be reading her book Rosie's Happy Place to local children, sharing the heart-warming story in her own words.

She'll then lead a fun and creative drawing activity inspired by the book. Also tonight in Roscommon there is an interactive theatre style workshop happening in the Roscommon arts centre.

'Giving it a go' will be led by Facilitator/ Arts Worker Louise Holian where a theatre style approach meets personal development through games, group, pair and individual tasks. That kicks off at 5:00pm.
