Irish Food Market
March 15
Trafalgar Square
12-6pm
ST Patrick’s Day was traditionally known as a day of feasting, so use this as an excuse to head into the heart of London to sample some of Ireland’s finest produce at the Irish Food Market, which will be one of the highlights at the Mayor of London’s St Patrick’s Day celebrations.
Sponsored by Kerrygold and brought to you by Bord Bia, the free event is taking place in Trafalgar Square on March 15. And the Irish Food Market is the perfect way to sample the true flavour of Ireland and experience a warm welcome from the producers themselves.
From farmhouse cheeses and traditional breads to smoked fish and luxury confectionery, the Irish Food Board (Bord Bia) brings the very best of Ireland to central London.
