Milano: Piccolo - The Grown-Up Kids Menu

"Milano treats children in a bit more of a grown up way, like ‘little adults’, from the menu choice through to how the staff interact with them. Their restaurants offer an environment where families can eat out together; children and adults both have a good time, no one has to compromise.

Milano put just as much care into the Piccolo menu as the grown-up version. The menu gives children the choice of three courses – just like the adults. Children can enjoy their signature doughballs to start, a choice of pizza or pasta as a main course and a mini ice-cream sundae to finish. The main course is accompanied with a free side salad and every Piccolo meal is finished off with a free Bambinoccino – a little cappuccino, without the coffee – warm frothy milk dusted with chocolate.

Every little adult dining in Ireland’s favourite pizzeria gets a special Piccolo pack – a series of activities that entertain and engage children in eating out, encouraging interaction with others at the table, including the waiters. Milano Piccolo packs are designed to offer support for people with children in the restaurant as a mechanism to keep them sitting at the table and interacting with those around them. "

Powerscourt Townhouse Centre: Free Puppet Show

Witch in the Wood Puppet Show comes to the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre!

As part of the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre’s huge range of Christmas festivities for all the family, a fantastic puppet show will take place in the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, South William Street on 8th of December at 2.30pm. This will provide a fun and interesting way for Children and families to spend a few hours in the city this Christmas time.

Renowned puppeteer Anne Fitzpatrick of the Lamberts Puppet Company will entertain and create drama with ‘The Witch in the Wood’. The story takes us into the world of ‘Cackaleen’ a dysfunctional teenage witch, who is actually more spoilt than scary! She and her pet spider Crawly’s callous plans come to a head when she attempts to retrieve her runaway cat, before taking on the challenges the cunning Woodland folk bring to her cruel plan!

Family entertainment is an essential part of the run up to Christmas. However, keeping the children entertained can be costly. “The Witch in the Wood” Puppet Show at the Powerscourt Town Centre offers a fun, free event for families to spend a few hours in the city. Your child’s imagination will get the chance to run wild as they are offered the chance to participate as well as spectate and it won’t put a hole in your pocket.Read more...
