Anyone who's been to Electric Picnic in the past will be aware that it's about so much more than the music.

Food plays a big role in anyone's EP experience, simply because of the sheer array of cuisines on offer. 

The Theatre of Food, which is located in the Mindfield spoken word area, enhances the festival's reputation as one of the most culinarily diverse events in the country, with cooking demonstrations, workshops, talks about food, tastings and more across the weekend.

Details of this year's Theatre of Food programme have now been announced, and some of the names who'll be taking the stage include:

Chefs Derry Clarke, Gary O’Hanlon, Ross Lewis, and Kevin Thornton; restaurateurs, and food stars Clodagh McKenna, The Happy Pear David & Stephen Flynn, and Declan Maxwell

Mixology at the Theatre of Food with Oisin Davis, and Shannen Butler-Keane;

A speed wine-tasting session hosted by Cork’s favourite wine café, L’Attitude 51;

Chef Paul Flynn and Bacardi champion mixologist Alan Kavanagh presenting a special session on classic cocktails;

A pizza-making session for kids, and a record-breaking attempt at creating the longest length of pasta made at a music festival.

 

There will also be various special music-related guests including musician-turned-restaurateur Joe O'Leary, Today FM DJ Tom Dunne and his wife Audrey McDonald, and blogger Nialler9 and his wife Aoife McElwain.
