Celebrity chef and television personality Edward Hayden is set to visit Abbeyleix later this month for a special fundraising event in aid of Abbeyleix Golf Club and DEBRA Ireland.
The well-known Irish chef will host a live cookery demonstration at the Abbeyleix Manor Hotel on Tuesday, November 24, at 7.30pm.
The event is Abbeyleix Golf Club’s main annual fundraiser for 2026, with a portion of the proceeds also being donated to DEBRA Ireland, a charity supporting people and families affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
The charity has a particularly strong connection to Abbeyleix through local woman Emma Fogarty, who lives with the rare genetic skin condition.
Emma’s parents are longstanding members of Abbeyleix Golf Club, and the club is delighted to support a cause that means so much to the family and the wider community.
Edward Hayden, who is well known for his television appearances and passion for cooking, will entertain guests with a live demonstration featuring a selection of dishes and practical cooking tips.
Those attending will have the opportunity to pick up new recipes, culinary inspiration and ideas they can recreate at home.
The evening promises to be an enjoyable occasion, bringing together food lovers, golf club members and the wider community while raising funds for two worthwhile causes.
Abbeyleix Golf Club is encouraging people from across Laois and surrounding counties to come along and support the event.
The fundraiser will help support the continued activities of the golf club while also contributing to the important work carried out by DEBRA Ireland.
The charity provides support to individuals and families affected by EB, a rare genetic condition that causes the skin to become extremely fragile and prone to painful blistering.
With a strong local connection through Emma Fogarty and her family, organisers are hoping for a great turnout on the night.
The cookery demonstration with Edward Hayden takes place at Abbeyleix Manor Hotel on Tuesday, November 24, at 7.30pm.
Tickets are available to purchase online through Eventbrite.
