Bedtime Adventures is an enchanting interactive dreamscape for children aged six and under with lifelong health conditions and/or additional needs. Coming to Galway, Limerick, and Cork in March, this immersive playground of sensory experiences features fluffy clouds, soft play areas, and musical elements.
Bedtime Adventures is a collaboration between the national children’s arts and health charity Helium Arts and That’s Life, an arts and personal development programme of the Brothers of Charity Services, Galway. It has been commissioned as part of ART:2023, a Decade of Centenaries collaboration from the Arts Council and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
What to expect…
On arriving guests are invited to take off their shoes and prepare for bed. Four beds await which transform into imaginative play centres, each inviting guests into the sensory play spaces beyond. Experienced facilitators will support parents, siblings and children to explore, investigate and play in their own time led by their children’s curiosity.
Grab a torch and explore the night in our wonderful light zone; wander towards the sounds of an interactive, intergalactic, musical space-garden; if physical play is more your thing then hop onto the dream clouds and roll around; build your own cloud castle; create and draw on an interactive bedroom rug or lounge on the giant beanbags in the slumber castle where pillow fights and chaos reign!
