These free events have been funded by the Northern Ireland Museums Council and Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.

Drop in sessions allow children agreed three and over to explore and enjoy the activities at their own pace. Younger or older siblings are also welcome.

Ballymoney Town Hall will host the Nerve Centre’s Fab Lab on Friday February 16 from 11am-4pm. Children aged 11 and over can participate in laser and vinyl cutting and find out how digital fabrication tools such as 3D printing are used.

There will also be an opportunity to try out some virtual reality headsets where children can have an immersive experience of racing the NW 200 track.
