We believe food – even just the conversations around it – has the power to comfort, to heal, and to bring people close together. Whilst yet again in 2020 we all need to stay apart, we’re so delighted to be involved once again in Samhain Festival – organised by Boyne Valley Flavours and Hinterland Festival of Literature and Arts – and ensuring the conversation continues in 2020… This year, Samhain gets its sophomore stage outing, as planned –– but pivoting, like many have had to, towards online, we’re proud to present: Virtual Samhain 2020.

The historic precursor to modern day Hallowe’en born of the Boyne Valley, Samhain marked not only the time of harvest but also a time of transition, and in 2020 Samhain Festival is transitioning itself digitally, streaming live and free via Facebook Live on Sunday 8th November, 12pm – 5pm following this year’s tagline of ‘Recovery Through Food’.
