Introducing Friday Fun in the Park 

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council are delighted to announce an additional event to add a new dimension to the annual Moira Speciality Food Fair weekend.

Friday Fun in the Park will take place from 5pm-8pm on Friday 14th October,  with a varied programme of interactive family-friendly activities that includes crafts, street theatre, athletics games and so much more. 

The evening will open with the Rowandale Integrated Primary School Choir performing a few tunes. 

The Rowandale Integrated Primary School Athletics & Juniors Athletics Moira will be running sports activities for everyone to take part in so whether you fancy yourself as a long jumper or a box jump, you can have a go!

Moira Primary School are testing your knowledge with health-eating quizzes as well as leading some space hopper races and tug of war!

The wonderful Circusful performers will have magic tricks and street theatre throughout the evening. 

For children who love arts and crafts, Squiggles and Giggles will be hosting mini scarecrow making and Go Fly Your Kite will be hosting Halloween & Lights kite-making workshops which children will be able to take home. 

In addition, Moira Demesne Nature Rangers will be holding forestry skills workshops with nature based arts and crafts for children of all ages to take part in. 

Children will be able to try ballet-inspired dance under the trees run by the  Clare Novaes Ballet School. Adults will also get to try “Somatic Movement” which can be great for stiff joints or post-injury. They will demonstrate how to maintain and improve your range of movement. 

Why not try Pilates? Local pilates instructor, Lesley Bell Pilates will be hosting Pilates workshops in the Stretch Tent, and teaching toning and resistance exercises to help your posture and well-being. 

Lisburn Ukes will be joining us from about 6.30pm for some fun and uplifting tunes - they’ll be hoping we all join in. 

Plan your evening to enjoy a bit to eat from the Moira village eateries. Plus there will be choices available in the Demesne with mini doughnuts, crêpes, grilled cheese sandwiches, gourmet burgers and fries. Hot drinks and delicious treats from The Quirky Bird  and Moira Demesne residents, Loki's Coffee.

With something for the entire family, we hope this will be a welcome addition to the Moira social calendar. 

Entry is free and there is parking onsite with provision for accessible parking.

Keep an eye on our social media for more details and schedule of events. We look forward to seeing you there!
