Festival organisers are on the hunt throughout Munster for talented new crafts and food and beverage producers for the event, which takes place in Cork’s City Hall from November 24-27. The competition is open to craft, food and beverage producers who are in business for less than two years. The winner will get to exhibit in the run-up to the Christmas season at the country’s biggest crafts fair outside Dublin.

This year’s 25th Anniversary Fair promises to be a bumper celebration of an event that has heralded the start of the Christmas season in Cork for the last quarter of a century. “The City Hall Crafts and Design Fair gives a vital economic stimulus to the crafts and design industry in the Munster region with an estimated spend in excess of €150,000 per day,” said Festival organiser Patrick O’Sullivan.

“Shoppers will find a wide range of crafts, artisan-made goods, food and drink, designer handcrafted outfits and accessories at the Fair. This year we have a lot of new content with many first-time exhibitors showcasing the best of new crafts and food from around the country” O’Sullivan added.
