Design POP, the Cork food and design festival, returns from August 28-30.

While the number of funky little pop-up ‘pavilions’ sited around the city will be reduced this year in response to the Covid 19 crisis, the programme of events is as full as ever. The pavilions are the work of various designers working in tandem with a food producer to create a sympathetic space for the general public to experience this collision of design and food — a veritable feast for the senses, providing fodder for both eyes and belly.
