The event provides a 'unique opportunity' to get out of the kitchen to meet with other chefs, farmers, nutritionists and suppliers all looking for new ideas and inspiration.

Some of this year’s attractions include: 

• Talks and demos on the main stage 
• A range of fabulous cuisines on our global kitchen stage 
• An orchard walk through the grounds of Mudwalls Farm
• A foraging & sampling experience.

This year the farmers market has over 65 suppliers including local artisan producers and the country’s biggest suppliers of food, drink, and equipment.
