Moray Family Learning Festival offers fun and free activities for children

MORAY'S annual Family Learning Festival kicked off this weekend and there are a wide variety of fun and free family learning activities organised for the next few weeks.

The Family Learning Festival is a national celebration that takes place in October every year to promote the positive effects of learning together as a family. This year’s theme is to inspire a love of shared learning through curiosity.
