The Celebrating Local Market, in partnership with the Food Heartland and NI Year of Food and Drink 2016, will add to the festival feel with the park being filled with ‘appetising aromas’ and ‘tantalising tastes’ as local producers showcase a range of food and drink products with many samples on offer for you to try.

Visitors to the ever-popular music event can take the opportunity to dig into a ‘scrumptious’ selection of all things local and experience the unique market atmosphere.
