This week, ‘The Mad Hatter Workshop’ in association with Wendy Louise Knight will be held at Granard Library. The event which takes place from 10am-12:30pm on May 8, will provide all those in attendance with an opportunity to create a wonderful new millinery design and is being run in conjunction with Lus na Greine Family Resource Centre in Granard.
On May 9, the ‘Get your Grove’ will begin in the Mall Complex, Longford town at 11am. This event will include dancing, movement to music and much, much more and is being held in conjunction with Longford Sports Partnership.

Heritage walks at Derrycasson Woods, Ballinamuck Bog and Newcastle Woods, Ballymahon are also in the pipeline for this week and Longford ICA is expected to hold a ‘Be Crafty’ event which will include demonstrations on sewing, knitting and embroidery at local libraries.
