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 "brill"-iant entertainment was on offer including a Loughs Agency touch tank, live music 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 chefs Paula McIntyre and Brian McDermott.
The Flavours of the Foyle Seafood Festival saw over 10,000 visitors (not even squidding..!) 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”.
Pardon the fishy puns..but we had a whale of a time..
