Situated in the heart of the West Cork food movement, the festival will also feature and pay tribute to the outstanding and creative food producers whose names are today synonymous with the best quality foods of Europe. West Cork boasts an un-spoilt countryside and a long, beautiful coastline, making it a natural haven for unique high quality foods.

A selection of festival treats will be on offer to cater for all tastes from handmade wood-fired pizzas to locally sourced barbecued meats to vegetarian stews and more, using selections of produce from locally made cheeses, artisan smoked fish, specialist charcuterie, baked goodies, and much more. The festival will have a Farmers Market area selling fresh, tasty local produce to picnic on, alongside festival hot food favourites, with opportunities to sample and savour local flavours and produce. The Theatre of Food will feature with local food heroes taking part in rousing discussions, demos, debates and more.

With acres upon of acres of gardens and trails, woodland and lakeside walks, a waterfall garden, arboreturm, wildflower meadows and enchanting vistas around every corner - nature, the arts, music and fine food will come together in perfect harmony this August Bank Holiday weekend at Liss Ard.
