The Festival this year will take place on the hard surface car park in front of the Causeway Hotel.
We will have two marquees for food stands and exhibitors. This year we will also have another marquee for the Signature Kitchen of Food NI, a selection of chefs will be demonstrating throughout the day.
The Causeway Hotel will be used for Talks and Exhibitors downstairs in the function room and extension with a link to the exterior marquees.
Local restaurants will be providing potato menus on the day which will feature the potato in its many culinary disguises: The French Rooms, Distiller's Arms, Causeway Hotel, Bushmills Inn and The Bayview Hotel, Portballintrae.
For more information please check back to our programme page which will become active and receive updates as we get them.
A Park & Ride shuttle bus will be operating from the car park in Bushmills. The Festival is free to attend but if you wish to visit the Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre then you will need to purchase a ticket.
