Galway City Museum is delighted to announce an engaging programme of creative workshops this May, celebrating imagination, storytelling, and artistic expression as part of both the Bealtaine Festival and National Drawing Day 2026.
Creative Writing Workshops: Inspired by Objects
For the Bealtaine Festival, the Museum will once again host a special series of creative writing workshops led by award-winning poet and facilitator Gerry Hanberry. Running on Thursdays 7, 14, 21, & 28 May and 4 June, from 11:00am to 1:00pm, these workshops invite participants to explore the stories behind unique Museum objects. Each session begins with Museum staff sharing the history of a selected object, followed by guided creative responses in a welcoming and supportive environment.
