Explore the tantalising tastes and aromas of the Cork Summer Show’s famous Food Zone, with one of the largest outdoor food markets in Munster featuring an incredible array of food stalls, street food, local and artisan producers.

Enjoy breakfast, lunch, teas and coffees at O'Crulaoi's seated, indoor restaurant.

You can relax and enjoy a meal at one of hundreds of picnic tables, or even check out some live music on our stage side straw bale seating while you savour some incredible flavours!

Check out our demonstration theatre at the heart of the Food Zone.

You can watch and interact with outstanding chefs as they take you through preparing a range of delicious dishes. It’s like watching a cookery show on TV, except fully interactive and immersed in flavours and aromas!
