A feast of artisan-produced foods, in a castle set on its own island – and you’re invited. Waterford Castle hosts a “Real Food Feast” next Friday, at which you can meet the people behind such fine Irish products as Gubeen bacon, St Tola cheese, Woodcock Smokery and Fancy Funghi, before enjoying a tasting menu in the Munster Room, cooked by head chef Michael Quinn. Tickets, €160 including dinner and BB, from 051-878203, www.waterfordcastle.com
