Teddy Bears Picnic
Select Hotels of Ireland present the Teddy Bears Picnic for Barnardos
On Sunday 20th June, Fota House will play host to Crystal Swing and a huge Teddy Bears Picnic, with all proceeds going to Barnardos.
Crystal Swing, the family of performers from Cork, who are now international stars have just been confirmed for this great day out!
For just €10 per family, kids big and small can enjoy a day of fun, on a very important day of the year - Father's Day - and at the same time fundraise for some of the most vunerable children in Ireland.
Taking place from 2pm to 5pm the event which is being organised by the Cork and Kerry members of the Select Hotels of Ireland, in the idyllic surroundings of Cork's renowned arboretum and magnificent gardens of Fota House in Cobh.
Every child will receive a goodie bag, and families are free to explore the gardens and enjoy activities including: Let's Go Camp's Bouncy Castles, Mia the Face Painting Clown, magic with Award Winning Magician Ger Kearney; as well as meeting two life sized Teddy Bears who will be coming out of hiding from the woods to enjoy the picnic.
There will be lots of old fashioned family fun too with egg & spoon races, sack races, and a special Father & Son/Daughter race, especially for Father's Day! For all the little princesses out there, there will be nail and face painting compliments of Makeup By Martha; and Sobe Brown will top it all off with cute princess hair styles.
Mums and Dads can join in the fun too with their very own BBQ, Mind Reading with Liam Sheehan, Magician to the Stars, and music with DJ Jonny C. As a Father's Day treat, Dads will also get their very own special pampering as Dr Anu from the Wellness Center at the Midleton Park will be on hand to give those stressed out Dads neck & shoulder massages, and therapists from the Celtic Ross Hotel's Holistic Suite will also be on hand to showcase their range of treatments.
A mega raffle will take place at Teddys Bear Picnic with some fantastic prizes including a Family pass to the 3 Irish Open compliments of Killarney Golf & Fishing Club, plus two Golf Breaks at the Kinsale Golf Club with accommodation provided by Trident Hotel, along with many other weekend breaks from each of the select hotels.
Entry into the events nationwide costs only €10 per family and further details are available on www.selecthotels.ie or by calling (021) 4391998.
