Isle of Man Food & Drink Festival 2009

With all the magnificent food that's produced on our own doorstep, we make a pretty good job of feeding ourselves in the Isle of Man. Flour, fish, bread, pork, herbs, vegetables, eggs, beef, lamb, honey, milk, cheese, butter, even ice cream. It all originates from local producers.

The Isle of Man Food & Drink Festival will be a celebration of the very best of Manx produce. The festival is taking place on the 26th and 27th September and the heart of the festival will be in the Villa Marina gardens. Click here for details on public transport and parking at the event.

Learn top cooking techniques and tips from The Hairy Bikers and others in the Manx Food Live Theatre, hosted by Relish Cookery School. Sample and purchase top quality Manx food and drink from producers in the exhibitor marquee, farmers’ market and on site caterers. Bring the children along to the Kids Kitchen Academy for a fun, free cooking session and cheer on the finalists in the I Love Manxchef Competition.
