MAIN DESCRIPTION
EVENTS
We believe that a strong, vibrant community grows through shared experiences, joy, and support.
Throughout the year, our Community Facility becomes a hub of positive energy, meaningful interactions, and fun-filled events for all ages.
Community Gatherings & Seasonal Celebrations
We regularly host family-friendly events designed to bring together residents of our neighbourhood, celebrate special moments of the year, and offer a space for connection and joy.
Family Meet-ups:
- Spring Family Get-Togethers
- Fall Get-Togethers Before School
- Winter Wonderland
Spring Family Meetings
Every spring we gather families from our area for friendly get-togethers in a cozy and warm atmosphere.
This is a great opportunity to chat with neighbors before the summer holidays, meet other parents and let the kids play on the playground to their heart’s content.
BBQ, tasty treats – we create the atmosphere of a real spring holiday for all generations..
Autumn atmosphere
At the end of summer, before returning to school, we invite families to a cozy get-together.
Fall events help children and parents gently enter the learning rhythm and recharge with positive energy.
Live music, hot drinks, snacks, light entertainment and a cozy atmosphere – we create a warm community that you want to return to again and again.
Winter Wonderland
Each December, our Centre transforms into a magical holiday space with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and twinkling lights.
Children are invited to meet Santa Claus, receive small gifts, and enjoy holiday treats in a joyful setting. This event brings smiles to young faces and warmth to everyone’s heart.
Events by Local Organisations
We are proud to collaborate with a wide range of local organisations and initiatives that work toward improving the quality of life in our community. These events are open to all and are free of charge, often supported by the DLR (Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council) and other social programmes.
