This year’s festival see Sebastian Skillings, aka The Hungry Fishmonger, making his first foray into the world of Supper Clubs, as together with Sarah Merrigan he’ll be showcasing some delicious Spanish style seafood in an event featuring six courses and an olive oil tasting. Ticket prices include all six dishes, the olive oil tasting, and wine for the evening, with all proceeds going towards charities working in Gaza. Speaking about the event on Instagram, Sebastian said, “With the horrific daily news and imagery coming out of Gaza, we felt that it was only appropriate to donate all proceeds from the supper club to charities working in Gaza. The more awareness, conversation and help, the better.” The event takes place at SC Grocer, Deansgrange, on Friday October 10th. Tickets are available to purchase on the @organize_events app and at @sarahandolivedublin.
