Limerick Strand Hotel is delighted to be chosen as host venue for the 2023 Irish Hotel’s Federation Mid-West Tourism Ball on Monday, April 17th.

The tourism fundraising ball has not taken place since 2019, due to Covid-19 so it will be an extra special evening for all attendees. The mid-west branch of the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF) has hosted this Gala Dinner since 2013 with the key aim of raising funds for local tourism initiatives in the region.

“We are thrilled to have the Mid-West Tourism Ball back at The Limerick Strand, and to welcome our regional colleagues to enjoy an evening of gracious hospitality and fun.  I am also looking forward to presenting the coveted Recognition Award on the night” said Stephen O’Connor, General Manager, The Limerick Strand.

The Black-Tie event raises funds to help support events that drive visitors to the region, with monies raised from previous years supporting various tourism initiatives over the years.

The ball will take place in the magnificent Shannon Suite with over 400 guests expected to enjoy the fun-filled evening with MC extraordinaire James Sexton. With an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients, talented Executive Chef Patrick Anslow and his culinary team will serve award-winning Irish and International cuisine, using locally sourced produce where possible and trace all the food. The team will be proudly supported by the hospitality students from LCETB’s Hospitality Education & Training Centre who will be assisting on the night and responsible for creating the starter course and dishes served by the students.

The event kicks-off with a drinks reception at 7pm and tickets at €80 per person and special overnight accommodation rates on offer also. For further information or buy tickets please contact the Meeting and Events Team at events@strandlimerick.ie or call 061-421800.
