9) Tales Of American Whiskey
25th September
What: Join Wild Turkey ambassador Luca Baioni for an evening exploring whiskies and whiskey based cocktails that show off the best of the American distilling tradition. Following a welcome drink, you’ll have the chance to enjoy three whiskey based tasting cocktails, followed by three nips of American whiskey, each showing off their own unique points of view.
Why: An American with a unique point of view that can be expressed silently and only results in the regular, comforting amounts of suicidal ideation.

4) Little Food Festival
25th & 26th September

For two days only, Little Food Festival will fill the main square with composting stations, native foods, eco-warrior workshops, exhibitions, cooking demonstrations and more. Through these hands-on workshops, kids will be invited to listen, question, taste, and explore the power that food has to positively influence our health, the environment and community around us.
Why: Desensitise them young. You don’t want the first time they meet a vegan to be at university. It led to a phase in our lives that we still can’t quite fully wash out of our clothes.
