The Bernard Shaw say the big weekend is 'dedicated to crisps of all shapes, sizes and flavours' promising to have the 'biggest range of crisps you've ever seen in a pub' along with games, DIY activities and music.
Social media users took to the comments of the TikTok post sharing details of the weekend, with one begging: 'Get bear in the big blue house crisps and I'll be there.'

A third commented: 'OMG my type of festival I'm addicted to crisps.'
The festival is a ticketed event with ticket prices at €10 (plus €1 booking fee) for each day, which includes entry, any pint and any packet of crisps.
Tickets can be purchased here.
The Bernard Shaw is located in Drumcondra, Dublin 9 and features the stunning Eatyard Food Market. If a festival dedicated to crisps isn't your thing, they also have a Wine & Cheese festival taking place earlier in the month from August 2.
As well as tasting different cheeses and learning all things wine, attendees will get the chance to try regular menu items dipped in multiple layers of cheese.
