THE Bantry Hospice Gala Fundraising Dinner will return to The Maritime Hotel, Bantry on Saturday, December 20th.

The event follows the success of last year’s inaugural gala, which raised an impressive €10,000 through ticket sales, donations and The Maritime Hotel’s ongoing fundraising efforts, including its room refresh programme and donation line linked to guest bookings.

This year’s gala, which will get underway at 6pm, will include a drinks reception and canapés, a four-course meal, prizes, and live entertainment from The Boogie Band, followed by a DJ set. Tickets cost €70 each.

‘Bantry Hospice is a cause very close to our hearts. The generosity shown at last year’s gala was truly humbling, and we are honoured to continue supporting the incredible work carried out by Bantry Hospice with what we hope will become an annual tradition’, said Scott Hornibrook, general manager of The Maritime Hotel.

Tickets costing €70 are available by contacting Helen O’Shea at The Maritime Hotel on 027 54700.
