We were delighted to officially launch Taste of the Bann, an exciting new partnership with , working together to showcase the very best of the River Bann 🛥️

The launch event welcomed visitors on Saturday 4th July to enjoy live entertainment, family activities and the opportunity to meet both teams before taking a guided tour of the marina and learning more about the unique self-drive boating experiences available on the river. It was a wonderful afternoon celebrating local tourism, hospitality and everything the Bann has to offer.

The new Taste of the Bann experience invites guests to enjoy a half or full-day self-drive cruise along the River Bann before returning to The Fiddlers Rest to relax over a specially created dining experience, making it the perfect day out for couples, friends, families, groups and visitors exploring the area.

We’d like to thank everyone who joined us to celebrate the launch and look forward to welcoming many more guests throughout the summer as they discover this unique experience on and off the water.
