At Áras Chrónáin · Watery Lane, Orchard Road, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, D22 X856
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
CEOL na nÓg, Áras Chrónáin’s music club for younger children, starts a new 8-week term at the Clondalkin cultural centre at the end of September. It’s aimed squarely at families with a child aged four to six who wants a first taste of making music in a group, rather than a formal instrument lesson, and it suits parents looking for a short, local, term-based activity close to home rather than a citywide programme requiring a longer journey.
Sessions run for an hour each Tuesday afternoon, starting on 29 September, with the term running for eight weeks in total. The class is pitched at beginners, so no prior musical experience is expected of the children or their parents. Áras Chrónáin runs the club as part of a wider children’s and adults’ music programme at the centre, alongside separate adult music and Irish language classes that start around the same time in late September, so the building tends to be busy with a mix of ages on class evenings.
Fees are billed per term rather than per session, with a discount available for members and for a second child from the same family attending. Because it’s a fixed 8-week block rather than a drop-in session, places are limited to the group signed up for the full term, so early booking is worth it for anyone keen to secure a spot.
Áras Chrónáin is just off the Nangor Road in Clondalkin village. Dublin Bus routes run from the city centre directly into Clondalkin, which is the route the centre points visitors to. On-street parking is available nearby.
Clondalkin village grew up around an early monastic site, and one of Ireland’s best-preserved round towers still stands a short walk from Áras Chrónáin. There’s more to explore across Co. Dublin beyond a Tuesday afternoon music class in Clondalkin village.
