If the cookery demonstrations and food samples have left you hungry for more you can enjoy quality local food in the catering zone nearby.  Here you can buy locally sourced and produced food, from Northern Irish Beef burgers to Hog Roast.

The Fine Food Court also offers a Food Adventure, if you are aged between 7 and 10 why not challenge your senses to see how well you know your food.  Can you identify food just by seeing or feeling or smelling or tasting it?  You can also hear how different foods make different sounds when you eat them.  Get your Food Adventure passport stamped as you pass through the zones of taste, smell, touch, sight and sound.
