Diwan Childcare and Toy Fair

The Diwan School Childcare Fair in Plouguerneau

The Diwan school of Plouguerneau (29880) and its support association Skoazell Diwan regularly organize their childcare fair at the Salle Jean Tanguy in the town. This event, dedicated to baby items, early childhood, and toys, brings together many private exhibitors offering their second-hand goods at reduced prices.

Diwan, immersive education in Breton

Diwan schools are associative educational institutions offering immersion education in the Breton language. The Diwan school of Plouguerneau welcomes kindergarten and primary school children and has a community of very involved parents and volunteers. The organization of this childcare fair is one of the school's flagship fundraising activities, helping to support its operation and educational projects.

Childcare and early childhood items

The fair offers a wide range of items for babies and young children: clothing of all sizes, shoes, educational and outdoor toys, strollers, car seats, beds, high chairs, bouncers, illustrated books, board games, and school supplies. The exhibitors are private individuals, guaranteeing affordable prices and the possibility of negotiating directly with the sellers.

The Salle Jean Tanguy in Plouguerneau

The event takes place at the Salle Jean Tanguy (or Gwikerne) in Plouguerneau, a large multi-purpose community hall regularly used for associative and cultural events in the town. Plouguerneau is a commune in the Pays des Abers, located about thirty kilometers northwest of Brest, known for its rugged coastlines, its abers (estuaries), and its Phare de l'île Vierge lighthouse – the tallest lighthouse in Europe.

A family and Breton atmosphere

The atmosphere of the Diwan fair is resolutely family-friendly and warm. Crêpes and refreshments are usually offered on-site by school volunteers. Exhibitors and visitors alike can enjoy the conviviality characteristic of Diwan events, where the Breton language naturally resonates between parents and children.
