A delicious selection of handmade cakes, breads and cupcakes will also be available from market favourites Rosie McNeill Cakes, Kin and Folk and Bara Bakehouse.

There will also be the return of some of NI’s street food favourites within the street food village, including Streetza and Tribal Burger.
