One of our favourite days of the summer is back and grillin’ to go!

Our BBQ festival A Taste Of Summer is happening on Saturday, July 25th from 12.30pm till sunset.

Join us at Avoca Kilmacanogue for a sunny celebration filled with great food, live music and plenty to enjoy for all ages.

The morning will kick off with a disco under the tree, followed by live cookery demos and music across the afternoon.

Spring Break Band will bring the vibes, with a Sundown DJ taking over later in the day.

Little ones can enjoy face painting and fun games all day long, shaping up to be the perfect day out for families, friends and food lovers alike!

Tickets are €35 for adults and €15 for kids. Each ticket includes a BBQ lunch and a complimentary summer cocktail for adults & a soft drink for kids.
