Food and design will be mingling across Cork city this weekend as a first of a kind festival takes over.

Design Pop will see six designers and six food producers team up to create six pop-up pavilions.

These bespoke installations will pop up all across the city in a new food and design trail and each pavilion will be open from 12-6pm on Friday and from 11am-6pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Emmett Place will be the location for Cork printmaker and visual artist, Shane O’Driscoll and plant-based food company Banana Melon Kitchen to display their collaborative pavilion.
