Sheridans Irish Food Festival
Sheridans Cheesemongers Irish food festival is teaming up with the Centre of Food Culture and Samhain Festival of Food & Culture to bring the biggest, best festival yet!
We are so proud to have hosted the Irish Food festival at our Meath HQ since 2010. Our new collaboration with Centre for Food Culture and Samhain Festival of Food & Culture is shaping up to be a great event, dedicated to the wonderful culinary heritage and good food produced in Ireland.
Better still, our joint efforts allow us to take over the town of Kells, Co. Meath for a two day weekend event on Nov. 9th and 1oth!
Our collaborators are no strangers to putting on great events in Irish food. The Samhain Festival of Food & Culture was established in 2019 and celebrates 5,000 years of Irish culinary and cultural heritage with an annual event featuring many fabulous guest speakers. The Festival will be organized by the Centre of Food Culture Boyne Valley, an organization of Irish food professionals whose expertise focuses on connecting people with Irish food culture past, present and future.
Our Sheridans festival began in 2009 as a gathering of our suppliers and has grown into one of the biggest food events of the year. We’ll have over 100 of Ireland’s greatest food producers as well as workshops and family entertainment for our 7,000+ visitors. To continue the festival with the same focus on Irish food producers set in a fun, family friendly atmosphere, we are delighted to be teaming up with our friends-in-food to continue the tradition.
The festival will continue to focus on the many producers from across Ulster, Connacht, Leinster, and Munster that make up the diverse food culture of our island. The ethos of the festival is simple: only Irish food on the tables, and only producers behind the tables. We implement strict Irish origin only guidelines and insist the producers themselves run their stalls.
