Findgoodlocalfood.com will be exhibiting at this year’s Hallowtides in Newcastle on Saturday 29th October showcasing the best there is in local food in the council areas of Ards, Armagh, Craigavon, Down and Newry & Mourne. The group will be located along the promenade in Newcastle from 2pm onwards in distinctive red and white marquees decorated appropriately for Halloween. There will be a Halloween theme to all the stalls and produce and exhibitors will include Pheasant Hill Farm and Forthill Farm selling their very popular varieties of naturally reared rare meats and gourmet barbequed burgers.
