Mother’s Day gift fair returns

One of the most popular events of the Corinthia Palace Hotel’s springtime season returns on May 1, promising a jam-packed day of boutique and artisan shopping, delicious food and fun activities for the whole family between 10am to 6pm.

The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift Fair will take place in the front gardens, where stalls will be set up and a variety of performances will take place.

Among the activities of the day, guests are invited to join the hotel’s dedicated workshops, which will raise funds for the Corinthia Palace’s associated charity, Beyond the Moon. A hands-on Mother’s Day cookie decorating workshop for children aged four to 10 will take place from 11am to noon at Villa Corinthia, led by award-winning pastry chef Mark McBride.

This will be followed by a Mother’s Day sushi-making masterclass for adults and anyone over 10 years of age, led by Rickshaw head chef Karen Cutajar. Both workshops can be booked by e-mailing [email protected] or by calling 2544 2733, and places will be confirmed against a €10 donation per participant. 

Beyond that, the hotel’s award-winning kitchen brigade will present a selection of delicious springtime treats and individual vendors will showcase their collections, featuring everything from clothing and jewellery to handmade gifts and crafts. A car wash will also take place opposite the hotel in the morning.
