The Festival is delighted to once again have the support and sponsorship of The Cliftonville for this year's food theatre. Standing proud on the seafront just a stone's throw away from the festival site, their talented team of chefs will share with you all the tricks of the trade in preparing and cooking the finest seafood, cook up some delicious samples to try and hand out recipe cards so that you can try out your new found skills at home. If you really can't make it, don't worry as brand new for this year, the food theatre will be live-streamed, so that nobody has to miss out on the fun.

The Cliftonville has been creating memories since 1897
