Wear the Maddest Hat and Win a Chocolate Weekend Break in Kerry
The all-weather Milk Market Limerick is continuing with its programme of FREE Sunday events when it stages a Mad Hatter Tea Party for families on Easter Sunday, April 24, from 11am to 4pm. According to David O’Brien, market manager, “The great response we got to our ‘Mayhem at the Milk Market’ event on St. Patrick’s weekend has encouraged us to continue to host free, fun, family market events and so we are delighted to be staging our “Mad Hatter Tea Party” on Easter Sunday.
“It will be a brilliant fun-day for families and it will be all for free, he added.”
Noting the continued success of the market and this new introduction of Sunday events and in addition to the special Easter Sunday market with eats and treats, the Market courtyard will have a Mad Hatters theme with crazy characters creating fun and mayhem. There will be an “on-the-spot” Easter egg hunt while the Knave of Hearts DJ will play great music and get the kids involved in games throughout the day. The Mad Hatter face painters will have the kids looking like rabbits in no time.
Mr O’Brien added that “There will also be competitions, including a kids ‘design an egg’ competition with the chance to win a giant easter egg. In keeping with the theme, we are also offering anyone who turns up with a mad hat, whether adult or child, the chance to win a chocolate weekend hotel break in Killarney. The hat can be bought, borrowed or made from ANYTHING – as long as it’s mad! The ten with the maddest hats will go into a draw for the great prize”.
The entertainment is being co-ordinated by FunIreland, one of Ireland’s top event management companies.
The shops and stalls will be offering all-day family ‘munch and lunch’ deal options to suit all tastes, ranging from grill-bar beef lunches and savoury crêpes to vegetarian dishes, delicious desserts… and chocolate. There will be extra seating and tables in the ‘Mad Hatter Food Court’ so that families can enjoy their food and watch the fun unfold. The market will be open from 11am to 4pm, with entertainment from 11.30am to 3.30pm and with the greatest “madness” happening between 12.30 and 3.30pm. The website at www.MilkMarketLimerick.ie has all the details.
David O’Brien adds “The Mad Hatters Tea Party on Easter Sunday will be a great fun event in a unique all-weather venue. Bring a camera, family and friends!”
