Castle Hotel Macroom Invites ‘Ladies Who Brunch’ to Royal Wedding Event in aid of Down Syndrome Cork

12 April 2011

The Castle Hotel, Macroom will host a Royal Wedding Brunch to celebrate the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday 29th April in aid of Down Syndrome Cork. This unique charity event will take place from 10.30am in the Ardilaun Banqueting Suite of the Castle Hotel.

Guests will be treated to teas, coffees and scones with clotted cream as the Royal Wedding is showcased on the Big Screen from 11am. It is estimated hundreds of thousands of onlookers will line the streets of London as Berkshire-born Kate Middleton finally marries her prince in Westminster Abbey where 15 Royal Weddings have already taken place.

Over 1,900 people have been invited to the Royal Wedding which will be an even grander event than that of Charles and Diana's wedding in 1981. Among the celebrities who reportedly received the gilded invitations are David Beckham, with whom William worked closely with on England's bid for the 2018 World Cup, and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham. Other rumoured invitees include Elton John, a friend of William's late mother, Diana, and Kanye West, whom William selected to perform at a 2007 tribute to Diana.  Irish rugby star Brian O'Driscoll and his wife Amy Huberman as well are expected to attend, if Brian's rugby commitments don't clash!

Speaking about the event, Owner of the Castle Hotel Don Buckley said, "There has been so much interest in the Royal Wedding that we thought we should do something to commemorate the day. Charles and Diana got married in 1981 when we were 30 years in business and this Royal Wedding takes place when we're 60 years in business so we thought it would be fitting to do something around it and, at the same time, give something back to a fantastic charity".

"Down Syndrome Cork is such an incredible charity that we thought it would be fitting that we give something back to an organisation which has done so much for so many people in the region."

Tickets for the event cost €10 per person and are available from the Castle Hotel and Down Syndrome Cork
