Have a Pawsome Tea for World Book Day – Cork International Hotel celebrates with Paddington Bear themed afternoon 

The Cork International Hotel is celebrating World Book Day with a Paddington Bear themed event for all the family to enjoy.  Hosted over three days, the hotel is providing an afternoon tea complete with marmalade sandwiches and a screening of the much-loved film starring Hugh Bonneville, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.

World Book Day is on April 23rd this year and the Cork International Hotel will be welcoming families to mark the occasion on April 21st, 22nd and 23rd.
