A great bank holiday Monday was had by all who attended the Dungannon 2007 Food and Drink Festival at Dungannon Park. From fish to fudge and from salads to steaks, all food groups were covered and no - one went home hungry.

Local produce was in abundance with many stalls present from the local farmer’s market and further afield. The cookery demonstrations, with chefs including Noel McMeel and Paula McIntyre, proved to be a popular attraction with chefs opting to use the freshest of local produce Tyrone had to offer.

Mayor expressed his delight at the success of the event:

‘It was great to see the crowds of people who came from throughout the Borough of Dungannon & South Tyrone and certainly further afield and the occasional shower certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits.’

The Food and Drink festival was organised to mark the 400th anniversary of the Flight of the Earls as part of the Dungannon 2007 - Be Part of It celebrations and was part financed by the European Union through the Exploring Diversity 07 & Beyond program managed for Special EU Programmes Body by Dungannon & South Tyrone Borough Council.
