This great event runs from 25th-28th

shelling competitions alongside a food village packed with food stalls and
sampling opportunities and that is just during the day! The evening offers an
opportunity to attend a Mystery Dine Around, sample the special festival menus
in restaurants and pubs, watch the fireworks on the harbour and listen to
in-house musical entertainment in Howth’s pubs. Click here for more information

Heading into its seventh year, this
festival celebrates the richness and diversity of Ireland's 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 11th - 14th April. Visit here for event
listings. One of the events is A Wine Goose Chase which is a one
woman performance and which fuses interactive wine tasting with storytelling in
a warm intimate setting. I saw this at the Fringe Festival last year and if you
can get a ticket it is well worth going to.
