Will you Dine in the Dark for NCBI?

On Thursday November 10, House Of Plates, Castlebar, will challenge local customers to Dine in the Dark as part of Ireland’s first National Dine in the Dark week. On the back of an innovative partnership between the Restaurants Association of Ireland and the National Council for the Blind, 200 restaurants across Ireland will hold their own Dine in the Dark session.

Dine in the Dark is a week long culinary celebration that will see 200 restaurants and 8,000 people 'Go Dark' for sight loss in November. Dine in the Dark is a unique dining event, where guests are blindfolded throughout the full dining experience. Without their sight to guide them, guests experience complex tastes, flavours and textures in a completely new and innovative way. Senses are heightened, altering taste, touch, smell and communication during the meal. A total of €5 from every meal will be donated to NCBI.

Speaking in advance of the event, restaurant owner Barry Ralph said: “We are very excited about this night. Here in House Of Plates we are a unique dining experience and we always like to try new things."

NCBI CEO Chris White said: “We are thrilled that House Of Plates have registered to Dine in the Dark on November 10. Sight loss affects one in six people in Ireland. With House Of Plates' support we are bringing people together to raise awareness, vital funds, and of course to have fun.”
