With Easter just around the corner, Manor West Shopping Centre and Retail Park is celebrating with some of Kerry’s finest food producers and craftspeople at its Spring Food and Craft Fair, which is taking place on 31st March from 11am to 5pm.

The fair tells the story of Kerry’s vibrant food and craft scene by showcasing the wealth of artisan producers whose thriving businesses celebrate all the county has to offer. The Manor West fairs have proven to be hugely popular and for the first fair in the New Year, Manor West welcomes families and friends to come along and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere as they support their local community.

A diverse mix of local entrepreneurs will be exhibiting their products throughout the day, with delicious locally-made produce on offer, as well as beautiful handmade creations for those looking for unique gifts and treats.

Speaking about the Spring Fair, Melanie Harty from Harty’s Foods said, “I’ve been involved in several of the Manor West Fairs and it has always been a fantastic event. We really appreciate the support that Derek and all the Manor West team give to small businesses like ourselves, who are looking to showcase their products and interact with customers in the locality. There is always such a great buzz on the day and it’s something that I am very proud to be a part of.”

The fair promises to be a fun day out for all the family with an Easter Egg hunt, balloon modellers, face painters, fun Easter characters as well as Tony the Magician. Radio Kerry will be there throughout the day to chat with the producers and craftspeople, as well as playing great music and taking requests from visitors to the centre who will have an opportunity to win special spot prizes!

Looking forward to the fair, Derek Rusk, Centre Manager, said, “We are lucky in Kerry to have such fantastic food and crafts produced locally, and here at Manor West we are passionate about supporting these artisan producers in any way we can. We are thrilled with the response we have received to the fairs so far and we hope that everyone will come along to the Spring Fair to show their support as they enjoy a wonderful day out with their family this Easter.”
