Taste of heaven in Kinsale’s gourmet wonderland

TOURISTS looked bewildered and day trippers stopped to stare as Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Dormouse trooped through Kinsale yesterday, followed by up to 200 revellers eating and drinking their way though the town.

The Mad Hatter’s Taste of Kinsale is one of the highlights of the town’s calendar and has been taking place every October for the past 33 years.

Visitors came from America, Australia and all around Ireland, some obviously having put a lot of work into their millinery masterpieces.
