The event description says: “We Wheelie love crisps here in Ireland, be it wafer thin slices of deep fried spuds or corn shaped snacks with filthy, delicious flavours.”

“The darlings of our nostalgic taste buds, we eat them as snacks, in sandwiches, as a stopgap dinner in the pub and party food. Crisps have always been there for us, so we decided it was about time we celebrated them once again!”

On the day you can also look forward to a blind crisp tasting contest, crisp sandwich building,  crisps and pints deals and crisp hampers available too.

There will even be a bottomless ‘crunch’ that’ll get you three Absolut cocktails and a bottomless amount of crisps! We’re in.

Get your tickets here.
