The menu: nibbles with a cultural bent

Unsurprisingly, Our Table, the Cork Midsummer Festival long table al fresco banquet on Cork’s Oliver Plunkett St, feeding 400 white-clad diners, is long sold out.

But there remain other intriguing opportunities for nibbles with a cultural bent, including: Picnic in the Park at Fitzgerald’s Park (June 14);

Conflicted Theatre’s site-specific Come Dine With Charles Mee, in the excellent Barden Private Dining Club (June 12-14 and June 19-21); Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector, at Blackrock Castle, sees splendid new music Crash Ensemble perform at dawn followed by post-performance breakfast buffet ( www.corkmidsummer.com ).
