Savour Kilkenny Gourmet Food Festival

 Thursday 25th to Monday 29th October 2012

Savour Kilkenny is about celebrating the whole of Kilkenny’s food heritage. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Kilkenny Castle, the festival centrepiece will be a bustling open-air market on the Parade plaza where visitors can taste and buy the best of local and regional produce while street performers, musicians, and face-painters provide the sights and sounds.

In the heart of the open-air market will be a spectacular food marquee where visitors can experience the journey from farm to fork through a variety of events for all the family from wine tastings, food talks and cookery demonstrations to workshops on apple-pressing, cheese-making and other artisan skills to fun events such as a local celebrity Ready Steady Cook-off.

The event will give people a chance to appreciate Kilkenny's heritage, culture and personality through its food, with something for all the family.
