Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council will host its second Hillsborough Farmers’ Market of the summer on Saturday 30 June with the very best local, seasonal and artisan food. The weekend market can be found on the idyllic setting of Dark Walk Lane at Hillsborough Fort. Visitors will have the opportunity to interact and buy directly from local food producers from across Northern Ireland.

Now in its third year, the summer markets have proven to be a popular staple event in the Council area.

The talent and skill of food producers from across the province will be on display, including offerings that cater for special dietary needs, whether vegan, gluten or dairy free. xa0Producers such as Ballyriff Buffalo, Mike’s Fancy Cheese, Ispini Charcuterie, Deli Muru, Crumbs Vegan Bakery and newcomer, Bara Bakehouse with a range of sourdoughs, rustic French and Irish breads will be in attendance. Not forgetting the street food options that can be enjoyed in the picnicking area, with award-winning food from The Hatch, a Dickie D’s Grilled Cheese gourmet sandwich or a Buchanan’s all-day breakfast bap.
