Hope it Rains | Soineann nó Doinenn plans to put our weather to good use to make Galway the place to be because of the wind and rain.

This FREE day of outdoor play for children and families kicks off the WeatherPlay project and will feature rain-painting, bad weather bingo, mud kitchens, adventure-play with Venture Out, kite flying, weather wanders, puddle-jumping, build your own water-blaster, and more.

There’s lots for grown ups too with lessons from play experts, artists and activists on how we can create more outdoor play opportunities for children in Galway.

All events are free but registration is required, head over to the project’s Eventbrite page for more information and the full schedule.
