Funky Monkeys swings into West Belfast

Funky Monkeys children’s activity centre will open its doors to the public for the first time in West Belfast on Saturday 5th June 2010 at 10am.  Eilis Keenan and Lee-Anne Daly are the owners of the long awaited “Funky Monkeys” in the upstairs section of the newly refurbished Kennedy Centre.  It is the first centre of its kind to open in West Belfast.  They have confirmed that Mr Hugh Kennedy will do the privilege of officially opening the centre along with Mickey & Minnie Mouse.
Both ladies are originally from Anderstown, Eilis attended St. Genevieves school while Lee-Anne attended St.Louise’s.  Between them they have a wealth of experience as Eilis Keenan has over twenty years experience in industry working in Belfast mainly in the catering industry and retail.  Lee-Anne Daly previously worked in her father’s business “Daly’s Garage” whilst she was at school.  Currently Lee-Anne runs her own Aquababes business teaching babies confidence in the water and their parents techniques on how to teach their children to swim.

Eilis explains that the first 25 children through the door will be in line to win a host of prizes which include free birthday parties and annual memberships.  The children will then have the opportunity to have their faces painted and play on the play structure.
Funky Monkeys caters specifically for children 8 years and under.    It will provide the perfect setting for parents and children alike as they offer great play facilities for the little ones and the café offers great food which will appeal to all.
Lee-Anne stated that they have been overwhelmed about the number of enquiries they have received to date about our birthday parties and memberships offering.

Funky Monkeys offers a range of birthday parties including mini-makeover, pirate and cookery to name a few.  They also offer a membership scheme you can join for £12 per month per child and you can go to the centre as many times as you like in the month.
Both ladies are very passionate about the business.  They whole-heartedly believe that Funky Monkeys in West Belfast is exactly what the community needs and look forward to providing this fantastic service and facility to the people of West Belfast.
