A few of our favourite things to do in Dubai this week
We made it through another week, mama (hooray!), and can’t wait for all the family friendly events coming up in Dubai over the next seven days! From Designer’s Pop Up market to Free Toddler workshops, here come the dates for your diary…
Designers Pop Up Market
With 25 carefully selected fashion vendors to shop from, you can be sure there will be plenty to keep you happy, mamas. And if you’re looking to get your hands on more than just the latest trends, then fear not: these guys make sure everyone has fun! There will be (free!) beauty services for ladies, AND gents, plus fun kiddie activities to keep the little ones entertained. Bring the fam along and make the most of all the fashion, food and fun!
When: Thursday 26 (from 4 to 9pm) and Friday 27 (from 2 to 9pm), May 2016
Where: Golden Mile, Palm Jumeirah Dubai, UAE

Drip Drop Polka Dot: Free Toddler Art Workshop
Flicker! Drop! Dot! Get the littles involved in an interactive, creative morning inspired by the paintings of French artist, Georges-Pierre Seurat! Head over from 9am to 10:30am, and let the little one dot their way through the day! Art, paint and mess is all very healthy for growing bubs (it helps fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, colour recognition and more!) Not only will they get to have a blast, you’ll also leave with a little masterpiece to hang on the mantlepiece.
When: Monday, 23 May, from 9 to 10:30
Where: Inspire Children’s Nursery Villa, Al Safa 2, Dubai, UAE
How much: Free!
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Join in the fun and excitement and head over to watch one of Shakespeare’s most loved plays! In order to commemorate the life of William Shakespeare (who passed away 400 years ago), Factory Theatre Ensemble is performing an abridged version of his most loved play ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. The youth theatre’s 8th show to date is all set to be an exciting telling of one night in the woods when a little bit of magic causes a lot of trouble… Book your tickets now, mamas!
