Oi!
Looking for a food manufacturer or product? Here you can find it.
Did you know that Trøndersk Matfestival has its very own festival just for kids? Every year, we offer fun and inspiring activities for young food lovers. Making healthy and delicious food should be easy - and fun! We can’t wait to celebrate food with the next generation.
Children and youth are tomorrow’s producers, chefs, servers, and food artisans. So what could be more sustainable than teaching kids to make good, healthy food - helping them make smart choices for both themselves and the planet? At the Kids Food Festival, kids get to taste, feel, try, create, and explore the journey from sea and soil to plate. And guess what? All activities in the children’s program are completely free! Let your kids dive into down-to-earth experiences that spark creativity, curiosity, and a love for good food. Below, you can read about a selection of activities and highlights from the rich “kids' menu” at Trøndelag Food Festival.
At Kids Food Festival, kids can take part in a wide range of fun, hands-on activities - with a special focus on seafood! All activities are free and based on the principle of "learning by doing." Children get to cook, smell, taste, and feel — and we hope it sparks lasting inspiration! A big thank-you to all the seafood companies and organizations that help make these activities possible. Special thanks to Sjømat Norge and Sjømatbedriftene for their financial support - it’s what allows us to offer so many amazing experiences for children.
Below is an overview of the children’s activities for 2025(activities will be updated continuously):
Grande Sjømat is "sailing" into Trondheim with a boat full of exciting marine species! Here, children can see, touch, and learn about fish and seafood up close.
At Norsk Cøliakiforening Trøndelag, you can make your very own gluten-free svele (Norwegian pancake). Pour the batter onto the griddle and cook it yourself. You’re also welcome to chat about gluten-free options and exchange tips and recipes using gluten free flour!
Hosted by Sør-Trøndelag Bondekvinnelag, you can make your very own potato bread! You'll get a piece of dough to roll out and cook on a traditional "takke". Then, enjoy it with sugar and cinnamon. There will also be a qualifying round for the Norwegian Potato Peeling Championship!
Here, you get to pull your own carrot straight from the soil, rinse it off, and eat it! A carrot has the most flavor and sweetness right after it’s been harvested. Sør-Trøndelag Farmers and Smallholders Union invites you to experience the magic of fresh carrot tasting.
Watch a robot in action, try driving a tractor with the latest simulator, or step into the boots of a farmer with the game "Farming Simulator." This activity is hosted in collaboration with Skjetlein VGS.
Visit the Salmon Kindergarden by Lerøy Seafood, featuring their "smolt" aquarium. See the salmon’s journey from roe to newly hatched fish. Knowledgeable staff will be on hand to explain what’s happening in the aquarium and share insights about the biology of salmon.
