Tickets to the Cork wellness event are now on sale, and those who attend can look forward to leaving the place feeling refreshed and inspired to put health first.

The pop-up has the most incredible line-up, involving some of Ireland's biggest names in the health and fitness industry.

Bestselling cookery author, personal trainer and host of podcast Bite Back, Roz Purcell, will make an appearance. The nation's leading personal trainer, broadcaster, and host of The Real Health podcast, Karl Henry, will also be a guest.

We're so excited to see Olympian, world champion, bestselling author and coach on Ireland's Fittest Family, Derval O’Rourke on the panel. She's an absolute queen.

Tom Dalton, founder of TD Fitness, will also be on the discussion panel, as well as Damy Redmond of Platinum Pilates; The Coaching Circle; mobility expert Brian O’Loughlin of Movement 101 and yoga and meditation instructor Lee Tracey.

Some of the highlights from the day includes a wellness panel with the three line-up stars, Pilates with Damy Remond, bodyweight HIIT with Tom Dalton and a slow yoga flow and meditation with Lee Tracey to wind the day down with relaxation.

Self-care, self-belief and resilience will also be a prime focus of the day thanks to The Coaching Circle. It's guaranteed to inspire you to progress yourself, a bit like The Fab Five from Queer Eye.

Derval O’Rourke, former champion hurdler for Ireland has given birth to her first baby with husband Peter O’Leary.

The 33-year old athlete from Cork, retired from international sports last year and made her pregnancy on twitter on Mother’s Day this year.

Speaking to The Herald last year she explained she wasn’t going to consider starting a family until after she had finished competing.

"You definitely can't jump hurdles being pregnant. We both want kids but I think I'll have to retire before we think about it,” she explained.

On Sunday she took to twitter to announce her baby news. She welcomed her little girl Dafne O’Leary to the world a few days ago and thanked the hospital staff.

She and Peter married in 2013 after they met on a flight back to Ireland from China. They had both been competing in the 2008 Olympics at the time.

Derval is a two-time European silver medallist but her biggest triumph was in Moscow in 2006 when she won a gold medal at the world indoors.

Earlier this year Derval had hit out at how long it was taking to upgrade her 2013 bronze medal from the European Indoors and said the appeals process “isn’t fair on clean athletes”.

Since she has retired she also released a cook book, Food for the Fast Lane, filled with all the tips and tricks she used to help her achieve her gold-medal wining status. She described her book as:

“It's very much a home cook book. For me it's eating really tasty healthy food every day. It’s about a lifestyle and I wanted to make the book quite personal to me."

Congratulations to the happy family!
