This October Bank Holiday Monday, let your four-legged friends be part of the fun at one of the top food festivals in Ireland.

This year there is a new addition to the Savour Kilkenny line up with Madra Monday, brought to you by Leader Natural Dog Nutrition.

This family fun day is all about dogs and features an exciting line-up of doggie-inspired activities for owners and dogs to enjoy as part of the Savour Kilkenny Food Festival.
