Kick off 2026 with a Munster Mingle – a relaxed, friendly walk where Munster lovers (two- and four-legged!) come together to stretch their legs, enjoy the fresh air and start the year in great company. Expect a welcoming atmosphere, scenic routes, plenty of Munster chat and usually coffee and cake before heading home!

We even have a mingle planned in New Zealand… Maybe a little to far for most of you but Robbie Greenslade is the contact for NZ should you want to visit!

If you intend to join any of our planned mingles then DM us for a contact number for your chosen mingle!

We are planning a video link call between all mingles once we are all out and would love for everyone involved, including those having a single mingle and overseas mingles to post their photos to the page and also send them into us for a collabative reel of what promises to be a top day!

Wrap up warm, bring your Munsters and join us for a brilliant start to 2026!
