Glenveagh are delighted to be the first National Park in Ireland to host the Puffin Rock Habitats exhibition on its all-Island tour from 11th November 2024 to the end of January 2025.
The Puffin Rock Habitats exhibition is based on Cartoon Saloon’s much loved Puffin Rock series and is an educational partnership with the Heritage Council and Cartoon Saloon, funded through the Creative Ireland Programme.
The exhibit will be located in the visitor centre and celebrates and promotes awareness of Irish habitats through engaging and interactive displays and hands on activity. Children visiting will also receive a copy of beautifully illustrated workbook.
In collaboration with the Heritage Council, Sea Collective and kindly supported by Donegal County Council, we will also be delivering a limited number of special workshops to some of the schools in the communities adjacent to the National Park.
The general public can visit the exhibit from Saturdays – Tuesdays from 9.30pm – 4pm.
