Tesco to launch flagship show in Northern Ireland

Tesco are pledging their support for Northern Ireland’s fantastic fayre by launching a new food and drink show this September. Tesco Taste Northern Ireland Show will celebrate the region’s finest ingredients and offer a jam-packed menu of exciting events and initiatives.

The FREE show, which will take place in Belfast’s Custom House Square on the 11th and 12th of September, was created to showcase Tesco’s Northern Irish supplier base directly to customers and to heighten awareness of the breadth and quality of local and seasonal produce available here. Over 60 of the region’s finest food and drink producers will gather under a giant marquee to literally take visitors taste buds on a culinary tour.

Over the two days visitors will be able to discover, try and buy the very best produce that Northern Ireland has to offer, whilst experiencing the personal enthusiasm of those who grow and produce Northern Ireland food and drink. From tasting delicious new products to rediscovering old favorites, visitors to the show will be spoilt for choice and a whole host of on-site competitions, eye-catching displays, musicians and events will whet the appetites of both foodies and families alike.

A Celebrity Cookery Theatre will be amongst the show’s must-see attractions and will play host to some of Northern Ireland’s internationally acclaimed chefs. Visitors will find culinary inspiration from a rolling programme of demonstrations, and discover how to make delicious dishes using an array of local produce. A dedicated Kids Zone will keep children entertained throughout the show whilst learning about food and healthy eating via hands-on activities such as cookery workshops, competitions, crafts and games.

An unmissable date for the diary, the show will bring together the aromas, tastes, sights and sounds of Northern Ireland to showcase our finest food and drink to a wider audience.
