Arriba!Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin, comes alive this weekend for the Festival of World Cultures, with all sorts of colourful and musical happenings. In the midst of the revelry, the festival's World Book Corner, which will be located in a bus parked in the vicinity of the People's Park, is hosting a children's writing workshop (for ages six to 16), at which young authors will produce a book of their own to take home. The writing and illustrations will be included in a published book, which will tour Ireland next year. The workshops will be hosted by Kid's Own, a children's arts organisation, and will take place tomorrow at 12.30pm and 3pm. Places are free, but will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
