Join us for a giant weekend of music and food at the Eats & Beats festival in Newcastle, County Down on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 September.
Eats and Beats - The best in local food
Providing the best in local food, visitors can enjoy delicious fare at the Producers Pavilion (sponsored by Lexus Belfast) with over 20 local and Northern Irish food producers. There you will find some of the finest food and drink on show from Savour Visit Mourne's producers and experiences such as Killeavy Castle Estate, Mourne Food Adventures and Neary Nogs Chocolate.
There’ll be a tipple or two on offer from our local distilleries and craft breweries — from gin, whiskey, and the very best beers from the likes of Killowen Distillery, Mourne Dew Distillery and Whitewater Brewery.

Music lovers can then dance their way around two music stages, which will offer free live performances on the Homegrown and World Stages over the two days.
