The food village is back again featuring local traders and producers, opening nightly from 7pm.

One proud county

Carlow Culinary Christmas is a celebration of the county’s “unique food and drink offering” and is also a fantastic opportunity for producers and consumers to meet according to Carlow County Council’s, Kathleen Holohan.

“This three day festival gives food companies, producers and more a chance to forge new contacts and relationships, get face-to-face feedback from customers, learn from those exchanges and launch new products”, said Holohan of this year’s event.

“We’re very proud of the work our Local Enterprise Office does with producers and to help local food firms and farm enterprises grow jobs in this important sector of our economy.”
