The secret is out! This summer, Clare Macra will be hosting Macra’s brand new ‘Macra’s Big Summer Blowout’ event on 6 August 2023 at the Inn at Dromoland Hotel.

This isn’t just any ordinary conference. The day will be jam-packed with inspiring speakers from a variety of professions, a cheeky BBQ, an afternoon of fun activities and, of course, we will not forget to shimmy the night away with some amazing music.

Please join us and listen to rugby player, Eimear Considine; chef and bestselling author, Trisha Lewis; and Irish Paralympian, Jonathan McGrath.

Tickets

Tickets will be released soon, but there is limited availability in the hotels, so make sure to book yourself in the Dromoland Castle Hotel today!
