Business Isle of Man invites businesses to partner with The Big Manx Feast, taking place on 19 and 20 September 2026 at Noble’s Park, Douglas.
A celebration of the Island's vibrant food & drink scene, residents may remember this event as the Isle of Man Food & Drink Festival, which established itself as a key event in the Manx calendar over the course of 15 years.
Building on the festival's success, The Big Manx Feast puts Manx ingredients centre stage, with demonstrations by celebrity chefs and leading local talent, fun activities for all ages, inspiring talks, great music, and a fantastic array of the very best Manx produce.
This vibrant event is expected to attract around 10,000 residents and visitors, providing a unique platform for brands to connect with food lovers, families, and the wider community.
In Blein ny Gaelgey, the Year of the Manx Language, The Big Manx Feast will be centred around the theme of ‘Yn Mheillea’, which draws on ancient customs in a community celebration of the harvest.
Sponsors can choose from a range of packages which offer standout visibility through digital screens, on‑site banners, branded zones, and inclusion across pre‑ and post‑event marketing. This is a unique opportunity for brand exposure in association with a high-profile community event, and direct engagement with thousands of attendees.
For more information on sponsorship opportunities, businesses are asked to contact iomfoodanddrink@gov.im.
