A month-long October celebration of food on the Causeway Coast, with supper clubs, tasting menus, food tours, producer visits and markets.

Throughout October, A Giant Taste of the Causeway Coast & Glens puts together a programme of food events across the borough. It includes supper clubs, tasting menus and special menus at local hotels, hands-on workshops, food tours, whiskey tastings and visits to local producers.

It opened in 2026 with The Giant Table in Bushmills (2–4 October), the new form of the former Bushmills Salmon & Whiskey Festival, with pop-up dining, chef demonstrations, artisan producers, makers' markets and live music. Later in the month there are speciality markets in Coleraine (10 and 24 October) and Limavady (17 October).

Most events are booked and paid for individually, and the markets are free to browse.
