Oonagh O’Hagan, CEO of Meaghers Pharmacy Group, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Bord Bia Bloom to deliver their first wellness venture to their wonderful festival. For 25 years, Meaghers has been rooted in wellness — supporting people not just when they are unwell, but in staying well every day.
“People are seeking trusted information, expert guidance and experiences that nourish mind, body and lifestyle. By bringing a modern, holistic approach to wellbeing right to the heart of Ireland’s largest festival, we hope to inspire healthier habits that last long after Bloom ends. As every healthcare professional knows, the best health outcomes come from prevention, not cure.”

We are particularly happy to welcome the new Meaghers 360° Wellness Village, which supports our ongoing commitment to wellbeing, connection and taking time out in nature. We look forward to opening the gates in the Phoenix Park in just a few weeks' time and encourage people to secure tickets in advance to allow them to soak up all that the ‘Bloom’ bank holiday weekend has to offer!”
