13. Can I use cash to purchase at TasteFest?
To really give the event a flavour of the people’s republic, TasteFest operates its own unique currency system called Corkers. Once inside the event all purchases must be made with Corkers. This includes restaurants, bars, food and non food stalls.
There will be a number of Booths around the venue where you can buy your Corkers and there will also be roving Corker sellers so you won’t have to go far to buy some.
Restaurant dishes will range from 3 to 8 Corkers and dishes are small enough to eat without sitting down but big enough to give your taste buds a tantalizing experience!
€1 gets you 1 Corker
14. What if I have spare Corkers left over, can I get them refunded?
Corkers are non refundable so only buy as many as you think you will need. Corkers will be sold in a variety of low denominations and there will be plenty of booths around the site to purchase them from so you will never be too far from buying more if you need them.
