Nothing spells the start of summer quite like Ireland's most vibrant festival Bord Bia Bloom, celebrating all things gardening, food and sustainable living, but this year's line-up is definitely busier than ever!
More than 100,000 visitors are expected this year to explore its 21 NEW show gardens, 11 postcard gardens, and over one hundred food and craft drink producers - all while enjoying live talks, demos, workshops, and entertainment on five buzzing stages.
Sounds like an ideal way to while away the sunny June bank holiday weekend!
The final line-up for Ireland's favourite festival of flowers, food and fun has officially been released, and as well as regular celebrity guests including Donal Skehan, Diarmuid Gavin and Darina Allen there.
There are some new features this year that we are very excited to experience too including the ‘Taste of Bloom, Curated by Neven’ dining package.
It's a new ticketed dining experience featuring a three-course lunch and a meet-and-greet with the one and only Neven Maguire for €79.
Chef, author, and entepreneur Trisha Lewis will be showcasing her skills this year too when she takes charge of the Seafood Kitchen.
It's not all about the adults though, there are plenty of fun exhibitions to entertain the children at this year's Bloom including the Budding Bloomers Children's Botanical Hub where they can learn all about planting activities and can take part in interactive shows for kids of all ages.
Actor Paddy Courtney will also be passing on his love of gardening to budding botanists at a planting fun workshop for kids, while there will also be face-painting for kids of all ages, and storytime with the resident storytellers from Dublin City Library.
What more could you want for a day out with the family?
