The foodhall will feature a variety of delicious goodies, including smoked venison, Scotch beef, chicken and duck; Chinese tea grown, picked and processed in Scotland; homemade jams, chutney, tablet and ginger wine; homemade dhocolates; puddings and cheesecakes; smoked salmon and confectionery.

There will also be a tombola, raffle and other interesting stalls.
