Mamma Mia Brunch at the Woodford Dolmen Hotel

What to Expect

The Woodford Dolmen Hotel turns its function room into the island of Kalokairi for a Mamma Mia Brunch on Saturday 19 September, running from 2pm to 6pm. It’s a singalong party built around brunch rather than a quiet sit-down tea: expect Dancing Queen, Voulez-Vous, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! and Waterloo played through the afternoon, with hand jives, throwback games and challenges keeping the room moving between songs. Themed food and drinks are available to buy through the afternoon rather than served as a set brunch menu included in the ticket, so this suits a group after a few hours of daytime entertainment as much as anyone looking for a specific meal. Tickets run to €24.50 plus a booking fee, sold through The Incredible Brunch ticketing platform, which runs similar themed brunch events at hotels around Ireland.

The hotel itself sits on 10 acres on the banks of the River Barrow on the edge of Carlow town, with views out towards the Killeshin Hills, and was named Leinster’s 4-star hotel of the year at the Irish Hotel Awards 2025. Its everyday food operation, the Plum Tree Bar & Bistro, runs a daily carvery using herbs from the chef’s own garden, so there is a working kitchen behind the party format on the day, not just an outside caterer brought in for the occasion.
