Flavours of Fingal – 23rd & 24th

We finish the month with one of two food festivals taking part on either side of the Liffey. Flavours of Fingal takes place in the beautiful surroundings of Newbridge House and promises to be a farm, flowers, food and family fun experience for all. We are particularly looking forward to seeing their vintage vehicle collection…who wouldn’t want their next taxi fare be in a Morris Minor?

Flavours of South Dublin – 24th

Not to be outdone by the burgeoning food scene in the Fingal area, Flavours of South Dublin returns to Rathfarnham Castle to showcase the best in local produce and craft in the South County Dublin area. This free event is in its second year and would love to get all the support it can as it continues to further develop local businesses. With a wide variety of cuisine set to be on display (think Nepalese, Malaysian and Venezuelan), anyone looking to try something new in their local community should add this to their calendar.
