The Food Festival has been organised as part of this summer’s Northern Ireland Open and will give Alice, as well as other local food and drink start-ups, the chance to showcase their talents to an international audience.

The Ulster Bank Food Festival, hosted at Galgorm Castle during the NI Open from July 27-31, will provide businesses such as those from the Entrepreneurial Spark Hatchery in Belfast and Artisan NI the chance to set-up shop for samples and sales at the purpose-built marquee. The event also highlights the work that is being done to support Northern Ireland’s food and drink industry

Gary Henry, Northern Ireland Open Event Director, commented: “We look forward to welcoming upwards of 40,000 visitors to Galgorm Castle over event week and hope they enjoy the world class local produce on offer.”
