Cookery demo with family fun

If inclement weather rules out a day on the glorious white sandy beaches, then the entire clan hightails it indoors to avail of the excellent aquatic and leisure facilities with ample opportunity for parents to leave progeny in the capable hands of trained staff and minders. But these days, Kelly’s is beginning to build an equally sterling reputation for its culinary offerings (including a very fine wine cellar) and the spring programme of events reinforces that notion with eminent chefs Paul Flynn (The Tannery, Dungarvan) and Eugene Callaghan and Stephane Rochard (both of the Kelly’s empire) offering a series of demos (February 23-27) ensuring that the hitherto unimaginable combination of family break with adult weekend away is now a reality. www.kellys.ie
