Cuidiú Cork run a wide range of weekly events – from parent-and-baby walks, Baby & Toddler Groups, to Messy Play, coffee mornings, and more. Whether you're looking to meet other parents, get out of the house, or just let the kids burn off some energy, there’s something for everyone.
We also host special events throughout the year, including a big Christmas party, a fun-filled Halloween party, and our popular summer picnic – all great opportunities to connect and celebrate with other local families.
Our events are relaxed, informal, and welcoming - come as you are, whenever you can. You don't need to be a member to join in (though members do get discounts!).
Want to know more or get involved? We’re always looking for new ideas, volunteers, or just friendly faces at events - don’t be shy about reaching out or saying hello!

East Cork - Sleeping Bunnies @Ballymaloe - Run by Sarah M
Cuidiú took over this playgroup in early 2023, and it’s been a much loved part of the local community ever since!
Come along to the Ballymaloe Grainstore on Wednesday mornings at 10am for a cosy morning filled with toys, ride-ons, colouring pages, and the occasional singsong or music session. We celebrate the seasons too, with fun Easter, Summer, Halloween, and Christmas parties throughout the year!
There’s always tea, coffee, and a tasty treat - think scones, biscuits, or cake - while the little ones play and make friends. It’s a great space for connection, both for kids and grown-ups alike.
A big thank you to Sarah, who keeps this lovely group running. If you can spare a little time to help out - setting up, tidying, just lending a hand or becoming a co host - it would be greatly appreciated.
