The Menu: Valentia Island King Scallop Festival

Whenever mention is made of Valentia Island, a guilty Menu reverts yet again to that much-scored spot on his mental checklist.

The Menu: Valentia Island King Scallop Festival

Where he has made repeated entries over the years recording his intention to return once more to that idyllic island in Co Kerry, the same place where The Menu first rode a horse and also, coincidentally, the first place The Menu almost rode a horse over a cliff.

The 7th outing of the annual Valentia Island King Scallop Festival (July 9 & 10) is a family-friendly occasion with events including live music on the streets, the RNLI hosting an open day at the lifeboat station and a children’s aquathon (swimming and running) but at the centre of all proceedings will be the magical mollusk itself, the scallop.
