More than 20,000 attendees are expected at more than 150 events as part of Cork on a Fork Fest, running from tomorrow until Sunday.

The opening-night VQ (Victorian Quarter) Shared Table will welcome 480 guests to MacCurtain Street for a four-course collaborative long table feast created by businesses across the VQ.

To facilitate the event, MacCurtain Street will be fully closed to traffic all day tomorrow, and Bus Éireann has advised that all stops on Bridge Street and MacCurtain Street will not be served, with diversions in place for routes 31, 205, 207, 207A, 208, 209 and 214.

Further shared dining experiences will be held at the Marina Market and on Pembroke Street.

South Main Street will also be pedestrianised for an 'Open Streets' festival, with a food and craft market, live music, street theatre and family entertainment, extending onto Tuckey Street, Grand Parade and into Bishop Lucey Park.
