Festival organisers go nuts for ginger

Redheads have set their sights on smashing a biscuit-baking world record to prove they’re ginger nuts.

Award-winning Hassett’s Bakery in Carrigaline, Co Cork, will fire up their ovens next Tuesday in a bid to break the record for the most amount of cookies baked in one hour.

The stunt is being organised ahead of the Irish Redhead Convention in Crosshaven, which runs from Aug 23 to 25.
