We hosted an evening of conversation and celebration with renowned broadcaster and mum-of-eight Miriam O'Callaghan.

To celebrate the first year of IMAGE The Motherload, we hosted a very special evening with special guest Miriam O’Callaghan. The event was full of conversation, connection, and festive cheer.

Guests were welcomed to drinks and canapés in the beautiful Fern House Café at Avoca Kilmacanogue to connect, reflect on the year, and raise a toast to all. Hosted by Dominique McMullan, editorial director of IMAGE Media and host of IMAGE The Motherload, the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly her fireside chat with Miriam O’Callaghan, one of Ireland’s best-known broadcasters and a mother of eight. It was an illuminating conversation about motherhood and resilience, filled with life lessons and wisdom

Attendees were also treated to live music from Jon Sadlier, creating the perfect backdrop for celebration. They had the chance to check out the Peugeot 5008 car, and each left with a wonderful gift bag on departure courtesy of our sponsors, and a generous discount from Avoca to get started on their Christmas shopping. Plus, one lucky attendee went home with a €250 voucher for Liffey Valley Shopping Centre.

Huge thanks to our sponsors for making this event possible: Peugeot, Avoca, Liffey Valley, its4women, and Revive Active.
