We were forced to reduce FnG '26 from 3 to 2 days.
Last summer, we had booked Gormanston Park, which would've given us a venue with on-site accommodation. This January, they told us they double booked, and we lost out.
We hope to open ticket sales soon and to give you more info on everything!
The DHC is offering an International Women's Day Beginners Workshop at a reduced fee of only €15.
7th of March at St. Dominic's Secondary School, Dublin from 10-4.
