They are putting on four air displays in Gibraltar this weekend, two on Saturday and two on Sunday at 2pm and 5pm, around the Caleta Hotel and beach front area.  The shows are free to the public to watch and enjoy!

The last time we visited the Rock to view the planes, the traffic was very busy and this time there will be special traffic flows in action to assist with getting to the area and dropping off.

Hope you go along and enjoy it!

There is going to lots of fun activities going on for all the family, bouncy castles, face painting, games and great prizes as well as entertainers, live music and food and drink

There will also be a variety of stalls , jumble sale, secondhand goods and lots of children related products, if you want a stall then make a move now as there are not many left.

The fayre is on from 11am – 8pm

For more information on the days events or to donate items for the jumble or if you want  s stall yourself then call 687 417 035,  616 399 382 or 650 460 664 or email info@live-spain.org

We are going to be selling all our nearly new and good quality used baby and toddler things.  There will be all sorts there from everything you need to help decorate the nursery, blankets,baby sleeping bags to toys, clothes and nursing equipment.

Amongst other things I have two good as new moses baskets as well as a mothercare highchair and two fisheprice swings and rockers, my friends also have a lot of similar items as well as an abundance of beautiful baby clothes for boys and girls.

I am hoping the weather will be good but not too sunny and I also have the task of entertaining my kids whilst we are there and trying to stop them from wanting to buy everything from the other stalls!

If you also have things to sell of a baby or toddler nature then I suggest coming along on Sunday 8th May and joining us.  Stalls are 10€, contact Micheal on 609 544 004 to arrange a stall and email me info@kidsinmarbella.com to let me know you are coming.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Address: Benhavis Carboot sale, La Ermita on the Benahavis Road

The menu was quite small but I am presuming this is because it was a Sunday lunch so only catered for sunday lunches if you know what I mean?!  However the price was very reasonable it was 2 courses for 12.95€ and there was a choice of 5 starters, 5 mains and 5 deserts (these were 5€ each) and for the kids it was the same choice of mains but a smaller version and Ice cream for dessert and these were priced at 7.95€.

The food was served very efficiently and tasted good too, and the kids portions were decent as well.

The downside for me was the kids area, I am not sure it can really be classed as this as it is really a beer garden with an old crazy golf course around the outside but no clubs or balls available to play with.  The kids didn´t really have anything to do, they really need either a bouncy castle or a climbing frame and slide or at least the clubs and balls for the golf and also there wasn´t much shade for the kids either which was a shame.

If you would like more information or to reserve a table then call 951 272 010

I picked up this leaflet at the car boot sale in Benahavis on Sunday, so thought I would pass on the details.

I haven´t visited this restaurant/bar since it became The Oak, I did however when it was one of the previous names and if the outside space is the same then it is a great place to go for something to eat whilst the kids have somewhere safe and enclosed to play.

The Oak have 3 events happening over the next week or so but I have picked out the two that will be good for the kids

Thursday 21st April 11.00am – 7.00pm, Easter Fayre in aid of the Thomas Jonathan Appeal (5 year old with west syndrome)
