Our sunglasses have barely had an outing.

But as Cork’s summer of drizzle continues, one Cork hotel is planning a special day that’ll make you feel like you’re on a sun-soaked terrace in Italy (even if it’s still cloudy and dull).

On August 10th, The River Club will host the last in its series of decadent Solstice brunch dates in association with Peroni.

They’ll be serving up their delicious brunch classics with cocktails, ice cream treats and vibey live music; the perfect summer meet-up for you and your friends (and an excellent excuse to wear a summery dress or shirt).

Created in partnership with Cork’s most innovative florist and long-time collaborator, Fox Flowers, the stunning décor on the River Club terrace is inspired by the warm hues of a glorious summer sunset. Clusters of vibrant pink bougainvillaea and lush bursts of greenery make a perfect group photo backdrop too.

The best bit? The terrace can also be transformed into a covered oasis and heated summer hideaway at a moment’s notice.

Tickets for the Solstice brunch on August 10th are €35, including a two-course brunch while you soak up the sun and a Solstice sip of your choice. You can book in now over here.
