COLERAINE SET FOR A PACKED DAY OF FAMILY FUN, MUSIC AND DANCE 

Coleraine is gearing up for a jam-packed day of entertainment on Saturday, 16 August, with activities for all ages taking place across the town centre.

The highlight of the day will be a Taylor Swift “Master the Moves” workshop from 1–3pm in the Event Space behind the Town Hall, specially designed for Swifties aged 7–12. 

Hosted by the talented coaches from Take to the Stage Theatre School, participants will sing along, learn choreography, and act scenes inspired by Taylor Swift’s biggest hits. Adding to the sparkle, Facepainting by the Sea will be on hand from 12–4pm to get budding performers glittered and ready to shine.

Live music will fill the streets with performances from Jamie Sloan and Aaron Jamieson, while Iconic Street Dance brings high-energy routines to keep the crowds moving.

The day kicks off at 11.15am in Coleraine Library with Walk like an Egyptian Storytime, where families can enjoy ancient tales and create their own hieroglyph bookmarks.

Animal lovers can meet the friendly residents of Jigsaw Farm at the Town Hall, as well as the much-loved North Coast Alpacas on Church Street, perfect for photos and a furry hello.

For younger visitors, there’s a bouncy castle at Kingsgate Street (12–3pm) and Stories and Crafts at Waterstones (3pm) for children aged 3–7 years.

With activities running throughout the day, visitors are encouraged to explore, shop local, and enjoy everything Coleraine has to offer.
