Following the success of the first ‘Taste Mid Ulster’ Market in Moy earlier this year, it is set to return to Pomeroy Forest, Saturday 29 June from 11am – 6pm, which has just opened a new state-of-the-art Pomeroy Forest Building and spectacular magic forest trails.
Organised by Mid Ulster District Council, it will showcase the very best of Mid Ulster’s local food, produce and crafts from all across the district, and include exclusive foodie experiences, chef demonstrations, with a focus on the delicious local produce, and a range of crafts sure to cater for every taste.
Look out for cookery demonstrations using local produce, as well as produce from the forest itself, from Suzie Lee Arbuthnot winner of the BBC Best Home Cooks and as seen on BBC, RTE, This Morning and Ireland AM who celebrates local as she incorporates ingredients from local suppliers to create dishes that have less miles to travel, Mid Ulster cook and food ambassador Norah Brown MBE and Chef Lauren Shimmon from The Tailor’s House, Ballygawley.
Get closer to nature with Wild Walk Bushcraft delivering foraging walks through the forest where you will see up close and personal all that the forest has to offer. Enjoy over 25 stalls of local food, produce and crafts including Betty’s Ice Cream, Ballyriff Buffalo, Fluffy Meringue, Lough Neagh Stories and Woodlab Distillery, to name only a few. Plus look out for performances from a number of local artists, including popular local artist, Andrea Begley as well as kids entertainment.
