Opportunity for local food and drink producers

Submit your expression of interest by 5pm on 31 January 2025.
Please note that this callout will help Tourism NI assess the demand for hosting such an event. Completing an expression of interest does not guarantee participation. If demand exceeds available places, a selection criteria will be applied.
