The Big Shed

The Big Shed is the heartbeat of the festival, showcasing the incredible food and drink producers Ireland has to offer. Black Poppy Tattoo returns with their unique, food-inspired tattoos, and you’ll find vintage food and drink wares to browse. Don’t miss our Festival Shop, where you can pick up books and get them signed by the authors in attendance.

Step into the heart of the Big Shed for our masterclasses! Shake up the perfect Martini, savour a cheese and wine tasting, dive into a Chai masterclass, and explore even more hands-on experiences. Check out the full lineup and grab your tickets on our ticketing page!
