Donabate Golf Club
Donabate Golf Club runs a junior golf programme for children and teens aged 8 to 20 at its course on New Road in Donabate. That wide age range means the programme can take a child from their first swing all the way through to competitive junior and young-adult golf at the same club. Golf is a sport children can play for life, and starting through a structured club junior programme gives young players proper coaching in technique and course etiquette from an early stage, rather than picking it up informally.

Donabate Portrane Tennis Club
Donabate Portrane Tennis Club, based alongside Donabate Golf Club on New Road, runs junior tennis coaching for children from age 5 through to teens. Coaching follows the standard red, orange, green and yellow ball progression used across Irish tennis, so children move up to a bigger court and faster ball as their skills develop. Junior coaching here is for club members only, so families will need to join the club to access sessions — a common setup for smaller tennis clubs that run their own coaching rather than open community classes.

Nature, Yoga & Art Summer Camp - Donabate
This Nature, Yoga & Art Summer Camp runs over 4 days at Lambay House, Donabate, Co. Dublin, for children aged 6 to 10, blending yoga and mindfulness with nature-based and art activities. Combining calmer, reflective practices like yoga and mindfulness with more active outdoor and creative elements gives children a varied pace across the camp, rather than a single high-energy activity from morning to afternoon. The camp costs €140, with a sibling discount available for families booking more than one child — useful for parents looking to keep siblings occupied together over the same week.

BCF Martial Arts - Muay Thai, Donabate
BCF Martial Arts runs Muay Thai classes for children aged 5 to 12 in Donabate, split into a Juniors group for ages 5 to 8 and a Seniors group for ages 9 to 12, so training is matched to each child's size and stage of development. Sessions take place on Mondays and Fridays, and pricing starts from €8 per class, giving families the flexibility of a pay-as-you-go structure rather than a fixed monthly commitment. Muay Thai builds striking technique, fitness and discipline, and having separate junior and senior groups helps keep training age-appropriate as children grow older within the programme.

Fingal Library - Musical Tots with Karen Donnellan, Donabate
Musical Tots with Karen Donnellan is a 1-hour music workshop for children aged 0 to 4, held at Donabate Library, Co. Dublin, and designed to be attended together with a parent or carer. The session mixes singing, dancing and instrument play, giving very young children an early, playful introduction to music and rhythm alongside the caregiver they came with — an approach that also gives parents and carers a chance to interact and bond with their child through music. Being held in a library rather than a dedicated studio makes it a low-key, accessible option for families with babies and toddlers.

Tina Mation
Donabate Portrane Leisure Centre hosts Tina Mation's drawing classes for children aged 5 to 12, part of a network of art classes across Dublin and Meath run in the style of Tina's well-known RTÉ show "Let's Draw with Tina". Each class guides children step-by-step through a drawing project, making it accessible whether they're picking up a pencil for the first time or already keen young artists. The term runs for 7 weeks and costs €100, with all materials supplied. The emphasis throughout is on fun, encouragement and building drawing confidence rather than formal technique. Donabate is one of six Tina Mation venues in the area, alongside classes in Glasnevin, Swords, Ashbourne, Lusk and Ballyboughal.
