Food lovers attending the 2024 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann are in for a treat with a bespoke event – the Wexford Fleadh Artisan Food Hall.
The food hall will be located at the Wexford Presbyterian Church, Anne Street and will showcase some of Wexford’s best artisan food producers.
Last week, some of Wexford’s camogie stars – Clodagh Jackman, Laura Dempsey, Anna Hennessey, Roisin Cooney and Sarah O’Connor – were on hand to launch the event.
The Wexford Fleadh Food Hall runs from Wednesday 7 to Sunday 11 August 2024, open daily from 10am to 5.30pm during the Fleadh Cheoil.
The event will be hosted by the Wexford Food Producers Network with support from Wexford County Council and Wexford Local Enterprise Office.
This event is one of the many highlights attendees can expect during the forthcoming 2024 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.
The Wexford Food Producers network provides a centralised member-led and member representative organisation with a core remit to promote and support the business of Wexford food.
The organisation has over fifty members who are Wexford based sole traders, SMEs and large companies.
Their continued aim is to support Wexford food producers, to build a sustainable food industry and to contribute significantly to the Irish economy on a local, regional, national and international level through the export markets.
‘The Very Best Food And Beverages That Wexford Has To Offer’
Speaking about the event, chairperson of the Wexford Food Producers Network Trudie Power said, “We are delighted to present the Wexford Fleadh Artisan Food Hall which is set in the unique backdrop of the Wexford Presbyterian Church on Anne Street.
“This special event provides us with a great opportunity to showcase the very best food and beverages that Wexford has to offer.
“We encourage the local community and visitors to Wexford during the forthcoming 2024 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann to come and meet our local Wexford food producers and taste their delicious produce.
“This event would not have been possible without the continued support of Wexford County Council and Wexford Local Enterprise Office.
“We would also like to thank the Wexford Presbyterian Church for allowing us to use this incredibly special setting for our event.”
The Wexford Food Producers Network engages with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and with national agencies Bord Bia, Bord Iascaigh Mhara, Ornua – The Irish Dairy Board and Fáilte Ireland on various important issues for the Irish food and drinks sector.
