Legen-Derry – The ‘Plaice’ to be...

The Morrows Events team recently managed the Flavours of the Foyle Seafood Festival as part of the Clipper Homecoming Festival in Derry, on behalf of Derry City Council Tourism Department. The two day event featured live cookery stalls hosted by North West Chefs where visitors could try and buy dishes with ‘Flavours of the Foyle’. A host of family fun and entertainment was on offer including a Loughs Agency touch tank, ice sculpting and ‘fishy’ street entertainers.

Working with our partners – Food NI, we also created a ‘Theatre of Food’ featuring live cookery demonstrations of signature dishes, hosted by celebrity chef Paula McIntyre.

The Flavours of the Foyle Seafood Festival saw over 5000 visitors over the two days – almost doubling the expected figures and judging by the amount of ‘Gone Fishing’ signs at the end of each day – visitors certainly got a taste of Northern Ireland – “Our Food So Good”.
