To celebrate Galway's designation as a European Region of Gastronomy, we will be joining The Bay Coast Wild Atlantic Way Food Festival for a week long gastronomic and cultural exploration in the wonderful location of Renvyle House and its surrounds. It is a major event in the culinary history of our country for Galway to be awarded the region of gastronomy designation, and here is a brilliant opportunity to get up close to the people and placs that have won the designation.
The programme of events is as follows, and tickets are available for daily, two or three nights, or a weekend package.There is also a special rate on the Killary Cruise, which includes lunch. We will be presenting the Kylemore Abbey Walk, the seaweed forage and Fulacht Fia, and speaking at the banquet, amongst other events. We look forward to seeing you there.
