Kenmare Macra Dinner Dance

What to Expect

Kenmare Macra’s dinner dance is the local branch’s main social night of the year, bringing members and the wider community together at the Kenmare Bay Hotel & Resort on the Sneem Road. The evening runs to a traditional format: a three-course meal followed by live music from The Kelts Band, with a DJ taking over once the band finishes, and it runs on from 6:00pm well into the night. As a Macra na Feirme event it draws heavily from young farmers and rural youth members across south Kerry, and the organisers have said both past and new members are welcome, so it is not restricted to current card-carrying members.

Macra na Feirme is one of the mainstays of rural Kerry’s social calendar, and the Kenmare branch’s dinner dance is one of its more visible annual fixtures, sitting alongside the branch’s competitions, farm visits and club nights through the rest of the year. Guests with dietary requirements are asked to call ahead so the kitchen can accommodate them, and the hotel is also offering a discount code for anyone who wants to book overnight accommodation rather than driving home after the dance.

Dinner dances like this remain one of the more reliable fundraising and social formats for Macra branches around Kerry, giving members a formal night out to look forward to once the busier summer schedule of shows, sports days and farm events winds down into autumn.
