Titled 'Daniel & Majella O’Donnell – Music, Style & Memories,' the free to enter exhibition will offer visitors a unique glimpse into the career of one of Ireland’s most recognisable entertainers, showcasing a carefully curated collection of stage costumes and personal memorabilia from both of their lives both on and off stage.

According to the orgaisers of this upcoming exhibition, the special highlight of the exhibition will be the elegant outfits worn by Daniel and Majella on their wedding day, which was attended by some 550 guests.

The couple married on November 4, 2002 at St Mary’s Church in Kincasslagh, County Donegal, and the garments worn on that memorable occasion will be displayed.

ITEMS ON DISPLAY

Among the most unique items on display is a remarkable 'big red book', which is in fact the original 'This Is Your Life' book presented to Daniel by TV presenter Michael Aspel all the way back in 2000. 

Moreover, a particularly poignant aspect of the exhibit will be one very special garment, a Fair Isle Aran sweater knitted by Daniel’s mother, Julia.

Speaking ahead of the opening, Daniel said he felt "deeply honoured" to see his career celebrated in such a prestigious setting.

"It’s a great privilege to have this exhibition at the Museum of Style Icons at Newbridge Silverware," Daniel said. "I’m delighted that fans will have the chance to visit and hopefully enjoy looking back at some of those moments with us."

Majella also said the exhibition will provide an opportunity to share some personal memories with Daniel’s devoted fans: "It’s very special that people will get to see some of the items that mean so much to us, particularly our wedding outfits, as they bring back wonderful memories."

As part of the celebrations, Daniel and Majella will meet fans in The Showrooms at Newbridge Silverware from 11am to 12.30pm on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. 

All members of the public are welcome to attend the event.
