The Causeway Coast and Glens Arts Service has released its full cultural schedule for the remainder of 2026, spanning from September 11 through December 31. The programme offers a wide variety of live music, theatre, visual arts exhibitions, and community-focused workshops, hosted primarily at the Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre in Limavady and the Flowerfield Arts Centre in Portstewart, with additional outreach projects occurring throughout the borough.

Seasonal Highlights and Performances

The season features a diverse lineup of performers and creative displays designed for all ages. Music enthusiasts can attend the Northern Lights Sessions, which include performances by The Rowan Leslie Trio, Anthony Toner, Grainne Duffy, Niall McCabe, The Illegals, Ashley Campbell, Lore, and Emer Maguire.

Visual arts remain a cornerstone of the season. Flowerfield Arts Centre opens with ‘Cloud Flocks & Herds,’ an exhibition of ceramic sculptures by Helen Merrigan Colfer. Simultaneously, the Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre hosts ‘Wanderlore,’ an exhibition exploring local folklore through the creative work of primary school pupils.

For families and seasonal visitors, the schedule includes:
– Halloween Haunted House: October 30.
– Limavady Drama Club: A production of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ running from December 2 to 5 at the Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre.
– Festive Markets: The Flowerfield Christmas Craft Market opens on November 14, followed by a Twilight Market later in the season.

Creative Learning and Community Outreach

Beyond ticketed performances, the Arts Service is facilitating ongoing creative engagement. Residents can access workshops in digital drawing, animation, pottery, and textiles. The ‘Mums Meet and Make’ sessions will continue to run on a monthly basis at both main centres, offering a dedicated space for new parents to participate in creative activities.

Outreach initiatives are scheduled to take place in Ballycastle, Ballymoney, and Cushendun. These projects involve artist residencies and collaborations with local schools and community organisations to ensure creative experiences are accessible outside of the primary arts centres.
