What:

If you ever wondered about the trick or treat and never-ending candy customs around commercial Halloween industry, it all began with leaving a share to appease the Púca.  This mischievous, shapeshifting fairy was given offerings such as a corner of the field unploughed or a barmbrack on the doorstrep.   We reckoned the Púca’s Share needed a more thoughtful, modern interpretation.

The Púca plays all kind of tricks. Spot them around town - on stilts, on a uni-cycle, you just never know where. For 2021, Taste of Bandon is delighted to be partnering with Jack & Friends – an inspiring local charity that works to support children with autism and their families.

Where:

When:
