The Big Apple Brunch, Letterkenny

What to Expect

St Eunan’s Mothers & Others, the ladies’ social group linked to St Eunan’s GAA club, hold The Big Apple Brunch at Mary Kate’s Bar in Letterkenny on Sunday 23 August 2026. The fundraiser is billed as taking guests “from the pitches to the party, prosecco and pints” and combines food and drink with DJ sets from Keith Fletcher and the Dudster, running from 3pm to 6pm. Proceeds go towards funding the group’s trip to New York City, one of the social and fundraising highlights the Mothers & Others group organises alongside its regular involvement supporting the wider GAA club.

Groups like St Eunan’s Mothers & Others are a familiar part of the GAA club fundraising landscape in Donegal, pairing an afternoon social occasion with a practical fundraising target. The brunch format, with live DJ sets either side of the meal, is designed to keep the afternoon going well into the evening, and organisers have priced tickets in tiers to reward early bookers while still keeping the event accessible to a wide audience beyond the club’s own membership.

Good to Know

Tickets cost EUR 25 for the first 100 sold and EUR 30 after that, bookable through Eventbrite, with refunds available up to seven days before the event. The brunch is a one-off club fundraiser rather than a recurring event, and while it is organised by St Eunan’s Mothers & Others, it is open to the wider Letterkenny community, not just club members or their immediate families. Anyone interested should book ahead given the tiered pricing structure rewards early purchase.

Getting There

Mary Kate’s Bar is in the Killyclug area on the edge of Letterkenny, a short drive from the town centre with on-site parking, making it a straightforward venue for both locals and visitors coming from further afield in the county.
