# Event Details - **Event Name**: Samhain Symposium 2025 - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 07 Nov, 2025 at 01:00 pm – Fri, 07 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: Harvesting Connections: Building a Food Policy for IrelandAbout this EventThis year’s Samhain Symposium presents a unique opportunity for stakeholders across the food system in Ireland to gather and discuss what an interconnected and cohesive food strategy for Ireland should look like. The Centre of Food Culture believes that this opportunity to connect as an industry and discuss this topic is a fundamental step in realising this vision.Ireland's food system can often operate in silo - the Samhain Symposium seeks to understand what an integrated food policy could look like for Ireland. Through a carefully curated programme, attendees will hear from leaders in the food policy space and participate in round table breakout sessions, where they can contribute their insights, challenges, and aspirations, informing a panel discussion seeking to define next steps in working towards a cohesive vision.We are delighted to be joined by Ella McSweeney as MC to guide us through our Samhain Symposium, and Ruth Hegarty as keynote speaker, presenting "Connecting the dots: Pathways towards an Integrated National Food Policy". This keynote session will be followed by a break out into discussion at roundtables, before a final panel discussion with Ruth Hegarty, Michelle Darmody, Siobhan Ni Ghairbhith and Kevin Sheridan.The 2025 Samhain Symposium is a call to action. Whether you are a producer, chef, researcher, policymaker, educator, a local authority representative, a community activist or a citizen who is passionate about Ireland’s future in food, your voice matters.Join us at 1pm for registration and networking over a Market Lunch. The Samhain Symposium will begin at 2pm. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/kells/samhain-symposium-2025/100001638228047189 - **Event Categories**: business, food-drinks - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fsamhain-symposium-2025-tickets-1638228047189 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 27.79, max: 27.79, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Kells - **state**: MH - **country**: Ireland - **location**: Headfort Arms Hotel - **lat**: 53.7269216 - **long**: -6.874704599999998 - **full address**: Headfort Arms Hotel, Headfort Place, Kells, Ireland ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Centre of Food Culture Boyne Valley (https://allevents.in/org/centre-of-food-culture-boyne-valley/24303081) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/31c1895e9da3ae596b5777917fe0c948610b8182e11232757e5edd5f7da1f66a-rimg-w1200-h600-dc1d4925-gmir.jpg?v=1761897135 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/9b152b6fd720d7255c100d30dd72f71992e7e6c190e3068aefa33632ba689758-rimg-w400-h400-dc171714-gmir.jpg?v=1761897134 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Fri, 07 Nov, 2025 at 01:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Headfort Arms Hotel, Headfort Place, Kells, Ireland - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 27.79 up to 27.79 EUR - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Centre of Food Culture Boyne Valley - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** business, food-drinks - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Samhain Symposium 2025 ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Samhain Symposium 2025", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/31c1895e9da3ae596b5777917fe0c948610b8182e11232757e5edd5f7da1f66a-rimg-w1200-h600-dc1d4925-gmir.jpg?v=1761897135", "startDate": "2025-11-07", "endDate": "2025-11-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/kells/samhain-symposium-2025/100001638228047189", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Headfort Arms Hotel", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Headfort Place", "postalCode": "A82 D2C1", "addressLocality": "Kells", "addressRegion": "MH", "addressCountry": "IE" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "53.7269216", "longitude": "-6.874704599999998" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Harvesting Connections: Building a Food Policy for Ireland", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "EUR", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-03", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-07", "validFrom": "2026-04-03", "lowPrice": "27.79", "highPrice": "27.79", "price": "27.79", "url": "https://allevents.in/kells/samhain-symposium-2025/100001638228047189" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "EUR", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-03", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/kells/samhain-symposium-2025/100001638228047189", "price": "27.79", "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Centre of Food Culture Boyne Valley", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/centre-of-food-culture-boyne-valley/24303081", "description": "The Centre of Food Culture, Boyne Valley, believes preserving and celebrating our food culture, past, present and future, we will enhance people’s relationship with food, connect them to the source of their food and the people who produce it. When we speak about food we also include our rich heritage in brewing, distilling and drink production. Our purpose is to facilitate greater connectivity between food, people, soil and sea. We plan to do this by creating the first national Centre of Food Culture, based in the Boyne Valley.We will leverage our connections nationally to create satellite locations and build international partnerships over time. This centre will facilitate education, discussion, enterprise and advocacy of our food culture for current and future generations. We will strengthen the connections between all stakeholders be they consumers, food producers, food professionals, state agencies, communities, academic institutions locally, nationally and internationally." } ] } ] ```
