Our Seafood Celebration Marquee was generously supported by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and the Scottish Government.  We curated a selection of delicious seafood themed stalls offering a wide array of local seafood served in imaginative and inspiring ways.

The Dangleberries, a lively band who plays popular music with a Scottish twist, headlined The Big Oyster Bash. An enjoyable evening was had with dancing, late bar, buffet and of course Loch Ryan Oysters!
