If you go down to the woods today! Pictured: Fiadh Murphy and Isabelle Philips with furry friends having fun at a Teddy Bears Picnic in Fitzgerald Park during Cork on a Fork Festival.

Make your way to Cork on a Fork for fun for all the family this week. The five-day festival takes place from August 14 to 18, and with its lineup of over 70 different events, there’s guaranteed to be something for everyone.

The children’s food trail will wind its way through the city, offering little ones bite-sized morsels of food and nuggets of information about Cork’s food history as they move from place to place. Deirdre Doyle from the Cool Food School will host sensory cooking classes. At Emmet Place, there’s a pop-up food market, a children’s play area and a festival marquee where local culinary stars such as Clodagh McKenna and Rachel Allen will give cookery demonstrations.
