Claire Bacon, Titanic Belfast’s Head of Marketing and Engagement said: “Food and craft has a wonderful way of bringing people together and telling stories, connecting us to the people, places and traditions that shape our heritage.

“With Flavours of Autumn, we're celebrating the wealth of talent among Northern Ireland's local producers while inviting visitors to explore Titanic's story in a different way, through taste, scent and hands-on experiences. From discovering local food and drink to enjoying our free family friendly activities over half-term, there's something for everyone to enjoy this autumn at Titanic Belfast.”
