Introducing ‘A Taste of Bloom, curated by Neven’
Great news for food lovers… We are delighted to announce the launch of ‘A Taste of Bloom, curated by Neven’, a very special new dining experience planned for this year’s festival in collaboration with chef Neven Maguire.
Relax in the stylish surrounds of our Garden View Restaurant overlooking the Show Gardens and enjoy a sumptuous three-course meal, choosing from a menu that has been thoughtfully designed by Neven to showcase some of the very best ingredients from quality Irish producers. Much of the produce selected will be on display in the Food Village at Bloom this year, providing you with an opportunity to meet the producers after your meal and purchase ingredients to enjoy at home.
The perfect Mother’s Day gift
Our special ‘Taste of Bloom, curated by Neven’ package is now available on Ticketmaster, making it the perfect gift for the foodie in your life. Tickets are priced at €79 per person and include entry into the festival, a three-course meal in the Garden View Restaurant, plus an opportunity to meet Neven in person at the lunch.
With just two sittings available each day (12 noon and 2.30pm), the experience is expected to sell out quickly so please book early to secure your place.
