In the nearby Home Industries marquee you’ll find everything from photography, crafts and floral art, to award-winning fruit, vegetables and baking.
Alongside a raft of stalls and marquees packed with food and crafts, you will also find some live music, children’s amusements, and the eye-catching spectacle of the Co. Antrim Young Farmers Clubs’ Games.
