Next Sunday’s event is sold out, so a second one has been scheduled for Saturday, May 23rd. The event kicks off with tea and scones at 5.30am, and when the rest of the country is just getting out of bed you will be returning to the hotel for your breakfast after two hours of intense listening. The price is €50 for adults and €25 for children under 13. Book on 022-47156 or see www.longuevillehouse.ie.
