The Abbeyleix Gaelic Games has cooked up a new way to raise funds.
St Lazarians is set to host celebrity chef Kevin Dundon for a cooking demonstration that will also help the Laois Down Syndrome Association later this month in the Manor Hotel in Abbeyleix.
With Christmas celebrations in mind, chef Dundon will show how to craft 'The Perfect Party Food Table'.

"What better way to start the Christmas season with an evening of delicious food, fun and community spirit with the fabulous Kevin Dundon in association with Laois Down Syndrome and St Lazarians Abbeyleix Hurling & Camogie Club," they said.
Kevin is a renowned Irish celebrity chef, author, and TV personality who owns the Dunbrody Country House Hotel in Co Wexford, which includes a cookery school.
He has cooked for high-profile figures like the late Queen Elizabeth II. Dundon has also authored several cookbooks, such as Full on Irish and Great Family Food. He is keen on the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
His cooking style is described as a blend of freshness and simplicity.
The organisers say some of the best local food producers will showcase their produce. These include G's Gourmet Jams, Temptation Chocolates, Derrykearn Apiary Honey, to name but a few.
The Club says stall places are still available and asks that you get in touch to book a place.
The event features a complimentary mulled wine and prosecco reception from 7 pm, with Kevin's cooking demonstration getting underway at 7:30 pm.
The Club say there will also be a DJ and a super raffle on the night.
Admission to the event is by ticket only, and a donation will be made to Laois Down Syndrome following the evening.
“Come along for a memorable night out," said the club.
The event takes place on Tuesday, November 25 available.
Tickets to the event are available at the Manor Hotel for €30 each. For tickets, contact 057 873 0111, or any of the club's committee members.
