Here in Wexford, we have plenty of award-winning food, drink and craft producers that offer seasonal products ideal for Christmas gifting. To make the task of Christmas shopping that bit easier for you, we have created a guide to the Wexford producers that have festive stock that make lovely gifts for someone special.

As it is Easter-time, we thought we would ask Lorraine O’Dwyer, expert forager, storyteller and Taste Wexford’s official tour guide to share some thoughts on Easter and why we celebrate eggs this time of the year.

The Wexford food story is about the Normans arriving in Ireland, the bold, brave knights with nothing to lose and everything to gain. In their wake, Wexford and Ireland were transformed with Towerhouses, Abbeys, Castles and, of course, our iconic Hook Lighthouse.

Food is a huge part of how we mark the passing of time. We asked Lorraine O’Dwyer to tell us the different ways we gather and celebrate food throughout the year.

You can do your bit to support local by continuing to pick up takeaway food from the many great eateries that Wexford has to offer.
