Titanic range of crafts and food at Greenmount Centenary Show

Local crafts and food products are always popular features of the Country Show and the Greenmount Centenary Show has both of these by the shipload.

The Food Market will demonstrate all that is good about the local food industry and will feature local food companies, which will be displaying and selling an eclectic range of foods to suit all tastebuds including fruit, meat, vegetables, soups, cheese, jams, chutneys, yoghurts, fudge, chocolate, sweets, bread, apple juice and even organic baby food.

In the Conference Hall over the two days there will be cookery demonstrations to whet your appetite by talented chefs from the Ulster Pork and Bacon Forum and the Livestock and Meat Commission.

The Craft Hall will feature a wide and diverse range of locally produced goods from jewellery, millinery, cards, ceramics, stone work, wood work, textiles, toys and even reflexology and aromatherapy oils.

Craft demos will be running at specific times during both show days where you can see the effort and attention to detail that goes into producing some of these unique products.

The opening of Greenmount 100 years ago coincided with the launch of the famous Titanic ship. Local Titanic enthusiast Terry Madill of titanicireland.com will be providing an interactive Titanic exhibition, which will allow school children to get an idea of what it was like to actually work and serve on the engineering marvel that was the Titanic.

The Centenary Show will be open from 11am to 6pm on Saturday and from 12noon until 6pm on Sunday.
