This event is hosted by the Wexford Food Producers Network with support from Wexford County Council and Wexford Local Enterprise Office. The event is one of the many highlights planned during the forthcoming 2025 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.
Celebrating Local Food Talent
Speaking about the event Paul Kehoe, Chairperson, the Wexford Food Producers Network said:
‘Following the success of this event last year, we are delighted to present ‘The Wexford Fleadh Artisan Food Hall’ again which is set in the unique backdrop of the Wexford Presbyterian Church on Anne Street, Wexford. This special event provides us with a great opportunity to showcase our local award winning food producers, which is the best that Wexford has to offer. We encourage the local community and visitors to Wexford during the forthcoming 2025 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann to come and meet our local Wexford food producers and taste their delicious produce.
This event would not have been possible without the continued support of Wexford County Council and Wexford Local Enterprise Office. We would also like to thank the Wexford Presbyterian Church for allowing us to use this incredibly special setting for our event.’
A Historic Venue Reimagined
Last year the Wexford Presbyterian Church on Anne Street was brought back to life to host this particular event and the Wexford Presbyterian Church has since been used by multiple Wexford based community groups for meetings, training workshops and exhibitions. The Wexford Presbyterian Church is delighted that the building will be used again once more as a host venue for the ‘Wexford Fleadh Artisan Food Hall’ for the forthcoming 2025 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.
