• ANTRIM CASTLE ORIENTEERING

  Thu 22 May 2025

  On Wednesday evening, 94 children and their families came along to the Orienteering event in the Antrim Castle Gardens. The children picked up their maps and went out to find the orange flags hidden around the park. When they spotted the orange flag, they put their dibbers into the box and listened for the ‘beep’. They enjoyed some cupcakes, crisps and juice in the sun afterwards.

  Miss Reed would like to say a big thank you to everybody who came along. It was wonderful to see so many happy faces enjoying the event. A special thank you to Mrs Moxen, Mrs Carruthers, Mrs Reed and Lagan Valley Orienteers for their invaluable help.
