This evening marked the launch of the new Wexford Strawberry Weekend Food and Drink Festival, which will be held on the 1st and 2nd of July at the Village at Wheelocks. This event promises to delight foodies and beverage aficionados with an array of delectable cuisine and refreshing drinks. The Village at Wheelocks is eagerly anticipating the arrival of artisan traders and visitors for this fantastic festival, which will be hosted by Cyril, Margaret, and their team. They have planned an incredible weekend of local food, fun, and celebrations and if tonight was anything to go by it is sure to make it an unforgettable experience.
This festival is a unique opportunity for producers, vendors, and customers to come together on a working farm and celebrate the excellent produce that the South East region has to offer. Patrons at Tuesday night’s (18th April) launch event got a glimpse of the experience they will have over the two-day event, which promises to be an amazing festival packed weekend full of local food, fun, and celebrations.
The festival will host over 40 food, drink, and arts & crafts traders, along with free cookery demonstrations by regional and specialist chefs. Children will also have their own area and activities at key locations across the festival site. Attendees can also look forward to great live music on a dedicated music stage.
