DUBLIN’S talented food and drink producers are being offered the chance to showcase their skills at national level, thanks to Ireland’s major new artisan food festival. 

And they have a chance to win a free stand at the Bite 2015 if they manage to impress the organisers with a brief description of their services.

Festival organisers are on a nationwide hunt for talented food and beverage producers for the event, which will be held in Dublin’s RDS from November 19-22.

They will be given the opportunity to exhibit their product in the run-up to the Christmas season, to over 20,000 Irish food and drink lovers who are expected to descend on the festival.

Festival organiser Patrick O’Sullivan said: “Bite 2015 is aimed at promoting Ireland’s vastly expanding artisan food and craft drinks sector, letting people with an interest in food experience just how much quality that we have in the field to the plate industry. 

Bite 2015 will feature top chefs and food experts as well as a huge range of producers, who are there to sell, sample and educate people about their unique products.

Presented by the organisers of the National Crafts and Design Fair, in association with Spar and Eurospar, the festival promises to be Ireland’s first and foremost interactive food expo, with attractions for all the family.

Artisans in Dublin who would like to win a free stand are asked to write a brief 150-word description of their practice and why they deserve to be chosen.

Entries, including full name and contact details and the name of this publication can be sent to info@bitefoodfestival.ie. The closing date for the competition is Friday, October 30.
