Since 2017 year fEast Cork has stepped up onto the solid foundations created by the Midleton Food Festival over the past fifteen years, and started to build a festival that stretches beyond Midleton to the charming Ballinrostig and the stunning seaside jewel of Ballycotton, creating a new focus for a young festival with old values and traditions, designed to celebrate this embarrassment of riches of a region. fEast Cork 2025 7th of September fEast Cork 2025 takes place on the 7th of September, again based in the market town of Midleton with its rich food heritage but with a strong focus on the wider region, and will once again be a food and drink festival with a sure sense of place. A festival that happens at harvest time – appropriately for a gathering up and bringing together of the best of what the area has to offer – fEast Cork is a fresh blend of conversations, dinners, markets, foraging, mixology, produce, producers, landscape, heritage and storytelling.   Bringing together a host of hardworking, innovative food producers from all over this landscape that is largely defined by food production and food heritage, fEast Cork is a celebration and showcase that mixes the old and new, the traditional and the innovative.   From the individual and small-scale but crucial producers, farmers, fishermen and cooks in the region that add layers of authenticity and history to the community, to the ethos originally created by Myrtle Allen at Ballymaloe House and Cookery School that has become a global force of nature that can be felt in the best kitchens from Sydney to San Francisco, East Cork resounds with a genuine sense of celebration of the local, the seasonal, the real. fEast Cork capitalises on and magnifies that shared ethos and those shared values in the most celebratory way.   Jameson Whiskey and Midleton Whiskey’s meteoric rise in the US and world-wide over the last decade all comes from the historic handsome distillery that the festival team pass on the way to work each day in Midleton. Irish Distillers’ own real connection with the East Cork landscape around them explains their significant support for the festival – barley grown by East Cork farmers and East Cork river water are ingredients that have helped put their whiskeys on the map, and now they in turn help raise the profile of the producers of the entire region through their generous festival sponsorship.   fEast Cork has grown from the strong roots put down by the Midleton Food Festival, and now this harvest celebration holds out its arms to the wider region, creating new coordinates for this vibrant young festival, coordinates that they hope will shine brighter each year on the food festival map of Ireland – coordinates that are pure fEast Cork. ​ SPONSORS OF FEAST FESTIVAL fEast offers you an exciting opportunity to directly reach out to your key target market. It is an event which underlines the importance of supporting local, regional and national industries, with an undeniable feel-good factor celebrating quality and indigenous products. When you partner with fEast as a sponsor you become part of one of Ireland’s longest running and best attended food festivals.   BECOME A SPONSOR

Auto-Enrolment is coming. Is your business ready?  Join us for Industry Insights, a series designed to provide businesses with the knowledge they need to navigate the ever changing business landscape. These expert-led sessions provide comprehensive guidance, regulatory updates and industry specific knowledge to ensure your organisation is prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead. This session will focus on the implementation of the pension Auto-Enrolment system, under the name My Future Fund and how it will become a reality for employers later this year. Ireland is the only OECD country without a mandatory retirement savings system, but that will change with the introduction of Auto-Enrolment (AE) in 2025. Under the AE criteria, inclusion will automatically apply to individuals aged between 23 and 60 who earn in excess of €20,000 per annum from all employments and who are not already participating in a pension scheme through their payroll. The introduction of AE will bring 800,000 new savers into the system, and with compliance and cost implications for employers, it is imperative that Employers take the necessary steps to prepare for the launch of AE. Topics to be discussed: - How Auto-Enrolment will work in practice - Key Issues for Employers - What employees will be affected by Auto-Enrolment - What approach should be used to meet Auto-Enrolment obligations & what are the options available so that Employers can select the optimum solution for their employees & their business - How much Auto-Enrolment will cost for your business - What actions should Employers be taking now and how they should prepare for Auto-Enrolment   ​You will hear from John Kearney, Director, Provest Pension Consultants, who has over 25 years' experience in the pensions and employee benefits industry.  John previously held senior roles with Aon and Willis Towers Watson and advises multi-national and indigenous Irish companies in relation to the Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution Pension Plans which they sponsor.  This event offers a timely opportunity to hear expert guidance and gain clarity on the steps your business should be taking now to prepare.  BOOK NOW In association with Provest is a Cork-based financial services firm specialising in personalised wealth management and corporate benefit solutions.
