Great news for food and drink enthusiasts across the Isle of Man: the beloved Food and Drink Festival is making a triumphant comeback this autumn. Relaunched as The Big Manx Feast, this exciting celebration of local culinary talent will take place on 19 and 20 September at the scenic Noble's Park in Douglas.

A Festival Reborn: What to Expect

After the cancellation of the previous festival in 2024, the Department for Enterprise has taken the helm to bring this event back bigger and better than before. The Big Manx Feast promises far more than just a marketplace—visitors can look forward to cooking demonstrations, talks, and family-friendly activities that showcase the very best of Manx food and drink culture.

Ollie Neale, Board Member for Business Isle of Man and Managing Director at Okell's Brewery, expressed his enthusiasm for the relaunch: "The Big Manx Feast is shaping up to be a fantastic celebration of the very best of Manx food and drink. It's a brilliant opportunity for producers, hospitality businesses, and artisan makers to connect with customers and showcase the quality and creativity that makes our local food and drink industry so special."
