Boxty

Kicking off on Saturday 19 October in Carrick-on-Shannon, there will be exhibitions, talks, tastings, music, dance and of course lots of boxty. Organisers say boxty will be available on breakfast, lunch and dinner menus in eateries throughout the town so whether you’re a well-seasoned fan or a novice in search of your first bite, Leitrim is the place to be for all your boxty related needs.
