Waterford Harvest Festival 2018

It’s been quite the summer in Waterford. Between Spraoi and Waterford Walls, Summer in the City and ArtBeat we have been spoilt for choice in the South East. But the fun isn’t over yet. Waterford Harvest Festival 2018 is a city-wide festival celebrating food and culture. These are a few of our highlights.
 

Brew Better Coffee

Sat 08 & Sun 09 Sept from 10.30am – 12 noon
 
Not sure about you but we can’t start the morning before we have our cup of coffee. Lots of practical home brewing tips and insights into the wonderful world of speciality coffees. Find out more here
 

Ballybricken Fair

Sat 08 & Sun 09 Sept from 1pm – 5pm
 

Ballybricken Green will be a hive of activity over Harvest Festival time. There will be attractions for all the family over two days.  Take a ride with the Four Shire horses, pet animals at the Agri-Aware mobile farm, prepare to be amazed with the Mayfield Birds of Prey, see some astonishing reptiles in all their scaliness, or take a spin on the fairground.

Harvest Wellness Area

Saturday 08 & Sun 09 Sept from 1pm – 5pm
 

Get a bit of balance into your life at the Harvest Wellness Area. Maybe try a relaxing and energising yoga lunchtime session. Or what about a little meditation to reduce stress. You’ll float your way through the rest of the weekend. Find out more here.
 

Junior HQ
