Celebrating food, heritage & nature through the Prism of the arts

Welcome to the home of Clonmel Applefest, our annual festival that celebrates the food, heritage and natural environment of Clonmel and environs through the prism of the Arts. 


In 2025, the festival will take place from Thursday 25th to the 28th September during which time we plan to collaborate with many local and national artists, crafters, food producers, performers and communities to celebrate the rich cultural, industrial and natural history of Clonmel and promote it as a valued place to live and visit for locals and visitors.

We have a couple of wonderful projects lined up for 2025: the F writing project, which explored the lives of  . Cruinniù ná Nòg day is taking place again on Saturday 7th June at Kickham Plaza with a Junior and senior youth strand from 12 to 8pm. Our brochure launch is scheduled for the 31st August with live music to welcome the Autumn and our festival's feast of celebratory events around food, heritage and harvest. 2025 promises to be another exciting edition with the theme of #thetiesthatbind as our central theme. Keep your eyes peeled for our bespoke events during the Spring and Summer. Keep up to date by following us on Instagram and Facebook and put those dates of the 25th to 28th September in your diary! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
