Booking has opened today for events at the 11th annual Waterford Harvest Festival, taking place from 6 – 8 September.
Highlights include a meal made entirely from food waste. The Wasted Supper Club will be held at GROW HQ, the home of not-for-profit social enterprise GIY, and will highlight the 1 million tonnes of food wasted annually in Ireland.
A multi-course pop-up lunch with highly esteemed chef, Sham Hanifa (The Cottage Restaurant) will take place at the award-winning Everett’s Restaurant on High St. and the final day will host an exclusive five course tasting menu to close out the Festival at Faithlegg House Hotel.
Commenting on the launch of the programme, Festival Director Tommie Ryan said: “Attracting over 40,000 visitors each year, Harvest 2019 will see Waterford city transform into a foodie haven celebrating local food, culture and heritage across the three days.”
This year’s programme of over 70 free and ticketed events features cooking demos, grow-it-yourself workshops, local food markets, child-friendly events, and more, all taking place across Ireland’s oldest city. For more information visit www.waterfordharvestfestival.ie.
