Mother’s Day 2020 is happening on Sunday, March 22nd and one of the best ways to enjoy a little quality time with your mum, granny or gal pals is by booking a slap-up meal to enjoy together.

Whether you’ll be celebrating with your own mum or marking the occasion with your kids, it’s the perfect occasion to plan something special.

Here are five Cork spots that have it all planned out for you:

1. A special celebration at Radisson Blu 

CUH Charity is hosting an extra-special Mother’s Day Lunch on Sunday, March 22nd at Radisson Blu Hotel, Little Island to raise funds to provide a unique Neonatal Family Sanctum at Cork University Maternity Hospital.

The Sanctum will be a private place in the CUMH garden for parents to take a baby in palliative care, for babies that are born early or babies whose needs are very complex.

The fun begins with a prosecco reception before a delicious three-course lunch, with fabulous raffle prizes up for grabs on the day. Tickets are €65 and can be reserved by emailing mary@hopkinscommunications.ie or by calling 087 254 0804.

2. A seaside surprise at The Blue Haven

If your mum’s a fan of a sea breeze and salty air, plan a stroll in Kinsale and a long lunch at The Blue Haven.

Book the three-course Mother’s Day menu (€29.95pp) or afternoon tea (€21pp) and your mum will leave with a complimentary surprise gift. To make a booking call 021 4772209 or email info@bluehavenkinsale.com.
