“It is with great regret that we have taken the decision to cancel this year’s West Waterford Festival of Food. In light of the developing Covid-19 situation, the health and safety of our community, guests and visitors is paramount.

We hugely regret not being able to welcome you all to our beautiful region but look forward to seeing you in the near future.

Also please remember to support your local businesses and buy local in this difficult time.”
