Discover the Magic of Kerry this Summer at the Manor West Food and Craft Fair

18 June 2018

A celebration of Kerry’s vibrant food and craft scene will take place at Manor West Shopping Centre and Retail Park on Saturday, 23rd June from 11am to 5pm, where some of Kerry’s finest food producers and craftspeople will showcase all the county has to offer.

A diverse mix of local entrepreneurs will be exhibiting their products throughout the day, with delicious locally-made produce and beautiful handmade creations for those looking for unique gifts and treats. Manor West invites families and friends to come along to enjoy the unique atmosphere and have fun as they support their local community.

This year, to further support local Kerry businesses, Manor West has launched the Manor West Food and Craft Fair Awards in association with the Kerry Local Enterprise Office (LEO), which offers the producers involved an opportunity to be recognised for their excellence and entrepreneurship and win a fantastic prize. Manor West is inviting the public to come along to the Summer Fair to experience all the wonderful artisan products and vote for their favourite stall, as well as through social media on the Manor West Facebook page.

Speaking about the Summer Fair, Eve McKay from Eve’s Leaves said, “The Manor West fairs are always a big highlight in my calendar and one not to be missed. It is fantastic for small business owners like myself to get the opportunity to showcase what we have to offer free of charge, and the support we receive from Derek and the Manor West staff, as well as the local community who come along on the day, is just brilliant. It is always a wonderful day for all involved and I am really looking forward to it.”

As well as delicious food and masterfully created crafts, the fair will be jam packed with fun for the kids with balloon modellers, face painters, and fun characters as well as Tony the Magician. Radio Kerry will be there throughout the day to chat with the food producers and craftspeople, as well as playing great music and taking requests from visitors to the centre who will have an opportunity to win special spot prizes!

Looking forward to another successful fair at Manor West, Derek Rusk, Centre Manager, said, “We are so proud of the local talent and the amazing food and crafts that are produced right here in Kerry and it is very important to us that we show our support for these local producers and entrepreneurs in every way we can. We are delighted that these fairs have become a tradition here in Manor West and a fun day out for families and friends to spend together celebrating all that Kerry has to offer.”
