THE Dome was a very different place on Saturday from the Rose Ball the night before, as two events provided great entertainment for visitors.

In the main part of the Dome, a charity Zumbathon was held and it was well attended with those taking part raising money for the ‘Inspired’ group.

Just yards away in the Pavilion part of the Dome, Taste Kerry held ‘The Kerry Food And Drink Experience’, a mouth-watering event to highlight the best the county has to offer when it comes to cuisine during the Festival.

Organised as part of this year’s Rose of Tralee Festival, visitors had the opportunity to taste and sample a wide and varied selection of Kerry produce.

Some of the finest food and drink producers in the county exhibited their products and there was three cookery demos from three different chefs on the day; Chef Noel Keane from Eabha Joans Restaurant, Listowel; Chef Sid Sheehan from Nourish and Chef Mark Murphy from the Dingle Cookery School.

The event was a great success with many taking shelter from the bad weather to enjoy the day. Scroll down for photos from both events…
