Neee-naaaw!

If your kids are obsessed with anything with flashing lights and sirens, prepare to be the coolest parent ever. Mahon Point is hosting a day of service vehicle madness on Saturday, September 14th.

National Services Day is a day dedicated to honouring the extraordinary men and women who serve on the frontline of emergency and security services, providing vital care to communities across the nation.

Mahon Point will be at the heart of Cork’s celebrations for this year’s National Services Day with a special event at the shopping centre on September 14th from noon until 4pm.

This year’s event promises to be a fantastic family day, offering a wide array of static displays and interactive exhibits that will allow the public to get up close and personal and meet the crews of the frontline services that keep our communities safe.

The event will feature representatives from all major emergency and security services, providing attendees with a unique opportunity to meet the professionals who work tirelessly in the fields of emergency response, public safety, and community care.

Families and individuals of all ages will have the chance to explore and interact with a variety of service vehicles, including an impressive Airport Fire Tender, a fully equipped Prison Van, and a Naval RHIB (Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boat).

Beyond the displays, the event is designed to foster community engagement, allowing the public to ask questions, gain insights, and even try out some of the equipment.

It’s free to go along and everyone’s welcome.
