Charlie Bear and Bertie Bear will be supporting BUMBLEance, Ireland’s only dedicated Children’s Ambulance Service
This Christmas, The Europe Hotel & Resort in Killarney is delighted to welcome back a beloved guest, Charlie Bear, who returns for another magical festive season with his cousin, Bertie Bear.
Together, the cuddly pair are spreading joy, kindness, and holiday cheer in support of a truly special cause: BUMBLEance, Ireland’s only dedicated Children’s Ambulance Service who provide nationwide journeys for families who cannot access their child’s healthcare – completely free of charge.
This year’s campaign, Charlie & Bertie’s Suite Dreams, is inspired by the whimsical world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Together, Bertie & Charlie have created a limited-edition chocolate bar with a touch of festive magic. Hidden inside one lucky
bar is a Golden Ticket offering an unforgettable prize.

“Bars were crafted with love and care
One golden ticket hidden there
A suite of luxury, a night to treasure
All for charity, spreading joy beyond measure”
A golden ticket to an overnight stay

One lucky winner will receive an exclusive overnight stay in the newly renovated Hans Liebherr Suite, the hotel’s most luxurious suite valued at €3,000 per night. Spanning an impressive 2,500 sq. ft, the suite features a wraparound outdoor terrace with magnificent views of the Lakes of Killarney and The MacGillycuddy’s Reeks.
Every chocolate bar purchased will directly support BUMBLEance, helping the charity continue its invaluable work providing comfort and care to children in need across Ireland.
Michael Brennan, Managing Director of The Europe Hotel & Resort commented on the initiative,
“Every year, we select a charity to support during the festive season and this year we’re delighted to be partnering with BUMBLEance. With Charlie & Bertie’s Suite Dreams, we’re excited to spread holiday cheer while helping this incredible charity care for children and families nationwide.”
Shane Brannigan, Partnerships & Communications Manager at BUMBLEance, commented,
“Our team is absolutely delighted to be involved in this year’s Christmas campaign with The Europe Hotel & Resort. Not only will the funds raised be enormously impactful, but the awareness that the campaign will help generate will help ensure we reach as many children as possible.”
