Step back into Ireland’s rich food heritage with this hands-on butter-making experience from Daisy Cottage Farm, hosted by Lorraine. Explore the deep cultural roots of butter in Irish history and folklore, and discover why it has long been one of Ireland’s most treasured foods.

Lorraine will guide participants through a live, interactive demonstration of traditional butter making, with everyone invited to churn and pat fresh butter themselves. Along the way, you’ll learn how butter was made in Irish homes and farms for generations, and how these practices connect to seasonal celebrations like Imbolc.
