All About Cork: Robot fun comes to Mahon Point

Robots took over Mahon Point Shopping Centre on Saturday afternoon, but it was cause for celebration rather than panic.

The local shopping centre is celebrating 20 years in business this month with a series of events to mark the milestone.

On Saturday, Mahon Point hosted Robot Realm which featured a host of robot-related family events and activities.

Speaking to The Echo, Mahon Point marketing manager Clare O’Neill said:

“Robots in Mahon Point is not something we have every week, and it was a fantastic event, especially for families.

“There were kids having their photos taken and taking part in interactive games as well while the robots themselves were walking around the centre.”

The celebrations are set to continue in the coming weeks as Mahon Point marks the anniversary.

The shopping centre is hosting a discount night tonight (Thursday, February 13) from 6pm to 9pm as part of the celebrations, offering up to 20% off in some stores.

On Saturday, Mahon Point will host a superhero party and this will be followed by a teddy bear’s picnic on February 21.

“We’re really excited about our discount night and the other events we have lined up to mark the 20th anniversary,” Clare added.
