The Mid-West Food and Craft Producers Market, held on 13.05.2023 in Shannon, celebrated the rich culinary and artisanal heritage of Ireland’s west coast. Located in the heart of town near the civic plaza, the market brought together over sixty local vendors showcasing handmade cheeses, organic meats, freshly baked bread, craft beverages, and handcrafted goods ranging from woolen textiles to ceramic tableware. The aroma of sizzling gourmet sausages, live traditional music, and the buzz of friendly conversation created an inviting atmosphere that attracted food lovers from across the region.
While deeply rooted in local tradition, the market has gained recognition beyond Ireland’s borders, drawing interest from food critics, importers, and culinary entrepreneurs based abroad. Many international visitors arrived via business flights from London, Paris, and New York, often combining the market visit with meetings in Dublin or Cork. For professionals in the food and beverage industry, the ability to source authentic, high-quality Irish products made the trip both enjoyable and commercially valuable.
Business class flights were a preferred choice for many attendees, offering the comfort and flexibility needed for a fast-paced itinerary. With extra baggage allowances, travelers could bring back specialty samples and artisanal gifts, while the quiet environment of a business class ticket allowed them to review supplier lists or finalize distribution plans mid-flight. For those flying long-haul from the U.S., first class flights provided an unrivaled level of service, ensuring they arrived in Shannon feeling refreshed and ready to explore every stall.
The proximity of Shannon Airport to the market made logistics effortless—within minutes of landing, visitors could be sampling award-winning goat cheese or tasting small-batch craft gin. This ease of access, combined with Ireland’s growing reputation for premium, sustainably produced food, has elevated the market into a destination event on the transatlantic food tourism circuit.
