What to really expect from the Overnight?

Upon arrival on Saturday at 4 pm you will be welcome with a cup of coffee or tea, and have time to bring your luggage to your room.

The first session starts at 4:30 pm.

At 6:15 you can enjoy a delicious meal prepared by the wonderful team of Lismullin. During dinner, you will have the opportunity to get to know the other participants.

Following that, at 7:15 pm, we’ll gather for our second session of the evening. Then at 8:30 pm, you can unwind with a more relaxed activity, whether that’s a beginner-friendly cooking session with the Lismullin Cookery School, a more casual extra session, or simply enjoying cheese and wine in the living room.

On Sunday, breakfast is served at 9:45 am followed by downtime.

The session on Sunday starts at 12 pm, followed by lunch at 1:15pm.
