Waterfood Festival of Food
Heading into its fifth year, this festival celebrates the richness and diversity of our Irish food culture in a
community setting. Think sharing picnic baskets, foraging for fun in the woods
or clamouring over the rocks on the beach to find a bucket-full of
seaweed and you get a picture of what type of events are on offer. This festival runs from the 12th - 15th April. Visit here for event listings.
