It's a family affair

Tomorrow is Family Day at the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin 2

Tomorrow is Family Day at the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin 2. Pack a picnic and some rainproofs and support family diversity and One Family – a national organisation for one-parent familis – by enjoying the free family entertainers, workshops and games.

Give your best shot at the massive inflatable goal lent by the FAI, move to the beat of Jane Shortall Dance, sign up to acting classes with the Gaiety School of Acting, see the Ballyfermot Superjets strut their stuff, enjoy a puppet workshop at Imaginosity and see magician Alakazam. No picnic? No worries. There are food stalls galore. The fun starts at 11am. The event is sponsored by the EBS, which is offering a prize of €500 for the best family portrait completed on the day or by May 31st. See familyday.iefor more information or tel: 01-662 9212
