Siobhan MacSweeney, Manager at Recovery Haven said; “We are absolutely thrilled to join forces with The Rose Hotel and the other amazing chefs involved in this event, as it promises to be a truly memorable night. In 2018, over 3,500 people came to us for help at our three cancer support centres across the county – an increase of 30% on the previous year and a record for the charity so we are absolutely delighted that The Rose Hotel have chosen to help us fundraise in this way.”
The evening will be hosted by Elaine Kinsella of Radio Kerry and music will be provided by Celebration for those who wish to dance the night away after dinner.
