Kids Patch lists 214 free kids activities in Ireland. Each listing links straight through to the provider — Kids Patch is free for parents to use and takes no booking fee or commission.
Free Kids Activities listings are spread across 25 counties, most of them in Dublin (63), Galway (16), Cork (14), Tipperary (12), Louth (11), Meath (10), Monaghan (10), Limerick (8), and 17 more.
Across the listings on this page, ages run from birth up to 18 years. 206 of the 214 state an age range. The rest leave it open, so it is worth asking the provider directly.
None of the 214 listings on this page publish a standard price. Fees for children’s classes in Ireland usually vary by term length, age group and session count, so providers quote on enquiry — you can message any of them from their listing.
Yes — 214 of the 214 listings are free to attend. Use the "Free classes only" filter above to see just those.
It varies by provider: of the 214 listings, 8 are parent-accompanied. The rest do not state a policy — assume younger age groups are parent-accompanied unless the provider says otherwise.
Yes — Kids Patch lists 721 public playgrounds in Ireland, taken from the councils’ own playground lists. They are free to use and each has a page with directions.
