About this Event
We’re back for another year with a host of informative talks and demonstrations, as well as a deliciously coeliac safe two course meal.
We’re joined by Tracie Daly, Food Business Consultant, as our wonderful host, as well as Aisling Larkin for another spectacular and healthy cooking demonstration.
We’ll also be joined by Coeliac Health Specialists, like Sarah Keogh RD, and our resident gluten free chef and Food Business Lead, Frances Buckley.
Tickets start at €65 for members, with non-member tickets costing €75. Tickets entitle you to the full day of talks and panel discussions, access to the Gluten Free Brand Fair and Sampling Area, a delicious and gluten free two course meal, and a goodie bag.
There is also a children's ticket, on sale for €25, intended for children under 14 years of age. This ticket entitles you to all of the above, with a child sized lunch portion.
Please note: This event is a full day of talks and cookery demonstrations, and is therefore not intended for children under 9. This event, while family friendly, is not a children's event.
The full agenda for the day will be released closer to time.
Proudly Sponsored by Dunnes Stores.
