Les Clefs d’Or Ireland is delighted to announce that our prestigious Annual Gala Ball will take place on Saturday, 7th February 2026, at the luxurious five-star Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel.
This highly anticipated event is the highlight of our social calendar and will welcome renowned professional hotel concierges from across the island of Ireland, alongside esteemed representatives from all areas of the hospitality and tourism sectors. These include restaurateurs, chauffeurs, tour operators, tour guides, and visitor attractions, with the Midleton Distillery Experience once again proudly supporting the evening as our Premier Sponsor.
The Gala Ball offers a wonderful opportunity to engage with members of Les Clefs d’Or Ireland on a more personal level, while providing an exceptional platform to showcase your product, strengthen existing relationships, and build valuable new business connections with industry professionals attending on the night.
The evening will commence with a champagne reception at 6.30pm, followed by a specially curated multi-course dinner created for our guests. Each dish will be meticulously overseen by Executive Chef Gareth Mullins and expertly paired with wines sponsored and selected by Eno Wines.
Following dinner, our keynote speakers will take to the stage, before our formal presentations, including the much-anticipated “Concierge of the Year Award”, proudly sponsored by Goldstar Chauffeur Drive.
Our renowned Luxury Raffle will then take place, featuring an outstanding selection of prizes, including stays at four- and five-star hotels, fine dining experiences, and tickets to attractions, sporting events, music performances, and private tours.
The highlight of the evening’s auction will be our star prize: a trip to New York for two, including return flights with Aer Lingus and a three-night stay at the New York Hilton Midtown.
All proceeds raised throughout the evening will be donated to LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, our chosen charity for 2026.
To conclude the night, guests will enjoy live traditional Irish music and dancing from the world-famous musicians and dancers of The Church Café, Bar & Restaurant, followed by a DJ, inviting everyone to dance into the early hours.
Tickets for the Gala Ball are priced at €150.00 per person.
However, those interested in becoming a Business Affiliate of Les Clefs d’Or Ireland will receive two tickets to the Gala Ball as part of their annual subscription.
