The annual ‘Models in Recovery’ Fashion Show, hosted by the Killarney Branch of Kerry Hospice Foundation, is set to make a return on Thursday, September 12 at the INEC.

This popular event, which has been captivating audiences since its inception in 2014, aims to raise crucial funds for Kerry Hospice.

A unique and inspiring aspect of the show is its all-cancer survivor models. Ordinary women and men who have bravely faced adversity will take to the catwalk to showcase their resilience and support a worthy cause.

The evening will be emceed by the charismatic Donegal native and TV personality, Noel Cunningham.

Adding to the entertainment, Liam O'Connor and family, fresh from their recent performance at the Olympic village in Paris, will be providing musical delights. Additionally, 'The 3 O's' (the O'Leary Brothers) will be entertaining guests during the wine reception.

As always, the event will feature a variety of door and spot prizes. The wine reception will begin at 7:30 pm, followed by the main fashion show at 8 pm.

Killarney Branch PRO, Cathal Walshe, highlighted Kerry Hospice's ongoing efforts to expand its services countywide. The organisation is seeking planning permission to add five more beds to the existing 15-bed inpatient unit at University Hospital Kerry (UHK). Furthermore, plans are underway to establish a multidisciplinary satellite Palliative Day Care Unit in Killarney, providing vital services to the Killarney and South Kerry regions.

Tickets for the 'Models in Recover' Fashion Show are priced at €20 and can be purchased from Pat Doolan (085-1543514) or the INEC Booking Office (064-6671555).

Cinema-goers in Killarney will have the chance to see local star Jessie Buckley on the big screen from this Friday when her latest film Hamnet opens at Cinema Killarney on East Avenue.

The release comes amid major international attention for the Killarney-born actress, who is at the centre of awards season buzz following her performance in the film.
Buckley, 36, recently won Best Actress at the Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica for her role and is widely tipped for further honours as the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Oscars approach.
Directed by Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao, Hamnet is based on Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel and tells the story behind the creation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Rather than focusing on the playwright himself, the film centres on his wife Agnes, played by Buckley, and the impact of personal loss on their family. Paul Mescal co-stars as William Shakespeare.
Buckley’s performance has been widely praised by critics, with strong reviews highlighting her portrayal of a woman grounded in nature and shaped by grief, motherhood and resilience in 16th-century England. The film explores themes of love, loss and creativity, with Agnes at its emotional core.
While awards speculation continues, local audiences can now judge the performance for themselves. The opening of Hamnet in Killarney is a notable moment for the town, allowing cinema-goers to see one of its own in a leading role that has drawn international acclaim.
