Premier Gala Ball Sponsor
We are delighted to announce Midleton Distillery Experience as the main sponsor for our 2025 Gala Ball. We look forward to continuing our great relationship with the brand and working together in further promoting such an exceptional visitor attraction. Midleton Distillery is the heart and soul of Irish whiskey and home to some of the world’s most well-known and successful Irish whiskeys, including Jameson, Redbreast, Midleton Very Rare, Powers, Spot Whiskeys, Method and Madness. A world-class, multi-sensory whiskey experience destination, Midleton Distillery also features the Irish Whiskey Academy, Irish Distillers’ Archive and the Micro Distillery within its 15-acre site.
This event is the highlight of our social calendar and is attended by renowned professional hotel concierges from all across the island of Ireland, as well as many respected representatives from within all areas of the hospitality and tourism sectors to include restaurateurs, chauffeurs, tour operators, tour guides and visitor attractions with Midleton Distillery Experience once again becoming our premier sponsor. This will be an ideal opportunity to meet members of Les Clefs d’Or Ireland on a more personal level, and a fantastic platform, not only to promote your product, but to build new business contacts and relationships with the many professionals in attendance on the night.
The evening will commence with a champagne reception from 6.30pm, followed by a selection of course's chosen especially for our guests, with each dish meticulously overseen by Executive Chef Gareth Mullins and paired with wines sponsored and selected by Eno Wines. Afterwards, our keynote speakers for the evening will take to the stage, followed by our presentations to include the coveted "Concierge of the Year Award" sponsored by Goldstar Chauffeur Drive.
Our renowned luxury raffle will then take place, with incredible prizes to include stays at 4* & 5* hotels, fine dining restaurants and tickets to attractions, sports, music events and private touring. Our star auction prize is a trip to New York for two to include return flights and three nights stay at the New York Hilton Midtown. All proceeds will be donated to LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, our chosen charity for 2026. To end the night, we will all be entertained with live traditional Irish music and dancing from the world-famous musicians and dancers from the Church Café, Bar and Restaurant and then a DJ to dance your way into the early hours.
Tickets for our gala ball cost €150.00 per person. However, if you would be interested in becoming a business affiliate of the society, then there are two tickets to the gala ball included in your annual subscription.
Rates are available if you would like to stay over, please book this direct with the hotel and quote Les Clefs d’Or Ireland.
