Entertainment
Cork 2026 isn’t just about body psychotherapy. True to the Irish spirit, you’ll be welcomed warmly, with a few laughs over a pint or a ‘cuppa’ (cup of tea), a lively ‘céilí’ (social event with traditional music and dancing), and ample opportunity to connect and have some fun.
Tickets for the Congress Dinner and the Céilí Dance are separate and are only available to purchase after you have booked your ticket for the Congress.
Congress Dinner
Saturday, 5 September | Cornstore Restaurant | 8.30pm – till late
The congress dinner is always a highlight, a chance to gather not as practitioners or participants, but as a community. This year’s dinner will take place on Saturday evening at the Cornstore Restaurant: a much-loved Cork venue known for its warm atmosphere, generous hospitality and vibrant energy.
Set within a beautifully restored historic building, the restaurant combines rustic textures with contemporary style creating a lively yet intimate setting, perfect for an evening of shared celebration. The Cornstore is renowned for its commitment to quality ingredients and bold, satisfying flavours. With a menu that champions locally sourced produce and expertly prepared dishes, the evening promises to be as nourishing as it is convivial.
Getting there from Cork City Hall is simple and pleasant: a short walk of around 10 – 15 minutes through the heart of the city. Leaving City Hall, you’ll cross over the River Lee and make your way into the lively streets of the city centre, where shops, pubs and evening lights create a gentle buzz.
Céilí Dance
Friday, 4 September | 8pm – till late | location to be confirmed
Our Friday evening céilí dance aims to offer a lively and light-hearted way for us all to come together through music and movement. Céilí dances are a much-loved part of Irish social culture, where live traditional music sets the rhythm for group dances that are easy to learn and joyfully shared. The atmosphere is typically relaxed, inclusive and full of laughter, with plenty of guidance along the way, so no experience is needed.
Expect a room alive with energy, connection and rhythm, where strangers quickly become partners and the simple pleasure of moving together creates a sense of warmth and community.
