O'Reilly Hall, UCD, Dublin 22-23 February 2014, 10am - 5pm
We’re delighted to have friend of the festival comedian Colm O’Regan performing his hilarious “Ireland’s Got Mammies” show at Babytalk festival!
The show is based on the popular @irishmammies twitter account and the best selling “Irish Mammies” books.
Exploring topics ranging from teatowel hierarchy to the importance of a Safe Place for things, the show will be taking place in our talks room on Saturday and Sunday at 1pm.
Festival tickets include entry to the show so book now!
We’re delighted to announce that the Road Safety Authority’s “Check it Fits” service will be present at babytalk festival!
The “Check It Fits” service will be stationed in one of our lovely large car parks, where you can get your car seat checked to ensure it is fitted correctly. The service is fast, convenient and free of charge to all festival attendees.
3 out of 4 child car seats are incorrectly fitted in cars in Ireland, so why not get your car seat checked for peace of mind when at the festival.
There will be trained experts on hand who are familiar with almost every child car seat on the market and who can check your car seat and answer any questions you may have.
Check it fits will be on site from 10am – 5pm on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd. For more information visit the “check it fits” page.
Babytalk in the Irish Times Health and Family Supplement
I nearly fell over my feet this morning as I rushed down to my local newsagents to pick up a copy of Today’s Irish Times. There on the front cover was an advert for our article! It’s a very difficult thing to do – walk and read a newspaper (I nearly walked into a bin trying) so I rushed home with Juliet to read the double page spread.
It’s a fab article by Sheila Wayman about navigating your way as a new parent amid lots of conflicting advice and misinformation. It features insightful quotes from our many excellent speakers and gives some background into the story behind Babytalk and what will be happening at the festival over the weekend of the 22nd & 23rd of February.
The photo shoot took place at our gorgeous venue – O’Reilly Hall, UCD, you can see the lake and fountains in the background of the cover shot. Marie and Juliet look great – I really wish I had taken the time to brush my hair before the shoot, but in true Mammy style it’s a little less than perfect – Juliet had been playing with it just before the shots!
