The annual Snowdrop Walk, a time for remembering bereaved children and families, will take place on Sunday, February 19 in the grounds of Shane’s Castle, Antrim.

The death of a loved one is extremely difficult and even more so when the loved one is a baby or a child. The Snowdrop Walk is intended as a remembrance opportunity for families and relatives who have suffered a pregnancy loss or the death of a child.

Light refreshments will be served in the castle grounds restaurant and children will be able to take part in activities with Antrim Area Hospital’s play therapist.

There is no charge for the event and affected families within or treated by the Trust are very welcome.
