A food festival schedule to savour

A MOUTH-WATERING programme of events was unveiled at the weekend for the fifth annual Savour Kilkenny Food Festival which takes place over the October bank holiday weekend.

The walls of Kilkenny Castle will form the backdrop for the festival with a free open-air food market on the Parade Plaza and in the Design Yard where foodies can sample the best of local and regional produce.

In a new development this year, the Set Theatre in John Street will host a range of cooking demonstrations and events, with celebrity chefs Donal Skehan and Catherine Fulvio topping the bill.
