A medieval theme has been selected for Waterford’s third food festival, which takes place in the county
from April 16th to 18th.

Spit-roasting suckling pig in the market square in Dungarvan, demonstrations of traditional brewing
and food trails for edible foods in Colligan Wood and for seaweed on Clonea Strand are among the
centuries-old activities that will feature side by side with local produce available from Waterford food
producers and chefs.

During the festival, a range of “foodie” events will be held including demonstrations by some of the country’s
top chefs, including Dungarvan’s Paul Flynn, Neven Maguire, Derry Clarke and Catherine Fulvio and local
chefs Eunice Power, Louise Clarke, Conor Foran and Shane McGrath.

Special festival food menus, in keeping with the medieval theme, are on offer in local restaurants and there
are food-tasting trails over the weekend.
