Absolute Hotel hosts Royal Wedding Event in aid of Pieta House

22 April 2011

The Absolute Hotel & Spa in Limerick will play host to an exceptional Royal Wedding Brunch on Friday 29th April at 10.30am in aid of Pieta House .

Guests are invited to watch the Royal Wedding on the Big Screen in the Absolute Hotel & Spa and will be treated to teas, coffees and scones with clotted cream as the nuptials are showcased on the 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, General Manager Donnacha Hurley said, "We're delighted to host this event in aid of Pieta House. There has been so much interest in the Royal Wedding that we thought it would be great to hold a Royal Brunch and have the proceeds go directly to charity. So many people have an interest in Kate and William's Wedding that we thought we'd bring a slice of London to Limerick for one day only. Our Friday mornings are exceptionally busy with people meeting up for an 11am coffee so it's great to offer our regular patrons something a little bit different by showing the Royal Wedding on the big screen."

Tickets cost €5 per person and are available from the Absolute Hotel & Spa or Pieta House.
