Sligo Picnic – Local Flavours for Every Adventure
Sligo’s world‑class landscapes and vibrant food culture come together in for a Sligo Picnic, a county‑wide collaboration between Sligo Food Trail and Visit Sligo.
This initiative invites visitors and locals to enjoy the very best of Sligo’s food and drink while exploring mountains, lakes, beaches, towns, villages and heritage sites across the county.
Whether you’re planning a coastal walk along the Wild Atlantic Way, a hike in the Ox Mountains, a round of links golf, a surf session, or a relaxed afternoon by a South Sligo lake, you can now take the flavours of Sligo with you.
Members of the Sligo Food Trail have created premium ready‑to‑go picnic experiences designed for every kind of day out.
