An art therapy and 'messy play' aimed at stimulating children's senses will take place on the Kildare-Laois border later this month.

Organised by neurodiversity advocacy group All Abilities Ireland, the organisation described the event as "an hour of fun messy play to inspire the senses, helping children to regulate their emotions while making friends".

"We will provide the fun activities and parents can chat to other families on the day," All Abilities Ireland added.

The camp is aimed at children aged between 8 and 12 years of age.

This is reduced rate event with limited tickets available.
