We stand in awe of all mná ’round here.

And if you’d like to do something extra special to celebrate your best gals pals on International Women’s Day this Monday, March 8th, you can arrange an indulgent treat while helping out an excellent local charity.

Brú Columbanus provides free accommodation to relatives of seriously ill patients at a 26-bedroomed facility in Wilton, near the Cork University Hospital and the Cork University Maternity Hospital.

This year, they’ve teamed up with the Kingsley Hotel to create a delicious Afternoon Tea for two for supporters to enjoy on International Women’s Day as a way to “say thank you or treat yourself” while helping to keep a relative close to their loved one in the hospital.

The Kingsley’s ‘Tea for Brú’ features a delicious selection of sweet and savoury treats from the hotel’s chefs to enjoy in the comfort of your own home (€50) or to gift to a friend.

It’s essentially all the fun of a fancy afternoon tea date, except you enjoy it in your slippers with your housemates or while gathering the girls for a Zoom catch-up.

For further information, get in touch with AnneMaria at Brú on 021-4345754 or book your ‘Tea for Brú’ via Eventbrite here.
