Burren Slow Food Festival
Burren Slow Food Festival – Sunday 11th May 2025 – Lisdoonvarna
Cookery demos, seafood talk & tasting, farmers market and yoga classes all day.
Held 20 years ago in Lisdoonvarna, the Burren Slow Food Festival provides a wonderful day for lovers of food and wellness. On the farmers market, you can browse locally produced foods and crafts.
Renowned chefs like Peter Jackson from the Roadside Tavern, Executive Chef Liam Finnegan from Ashford Castle, as well as Jonathan Keane from The Lodge at Ashford Castle will be sharing their skills and knowledge during cookery demos.
For oyster lovers, different growers will talk about their unique kinds of oysters, and a tasting will ensure that you can appreciate the flavour of each one.
Throughout the day, yoga teachers from the area will offer a wide variety of yoga, acupuncture and sound bath classes – all for only €10!
Of course it wouldn’t be a food festival if there weren’t food available to eat on the spot. The Burren Display Centre tea room will set up a pop-up café at the festival in the Pavilion. There will also be other food offerings on the day. Nobody will go home hungry!
On Saturday 10th May, the annual Burren Slow Food Banquet will take place. Secure your ticket now!
