About
The Big Manx Feast is a celebration of the Island's vibrant food & drink scene over the weekend of 19 and 20 September 2026. Visitors 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.
The Big Manx Feast puts Manx ingredients centre stage, with demonstrations by celebrity chefs and leading local talent, fun family activities, inspiring panel talks, great local music, and a fantastic array of the very best Manx produce.
In the Year of the Manx Language, we're celebrating 'Yn Mheillea', the Manx Gaelic term for harvest time which gathers together the whole community for feasting and merry-making; The Big Manx Feast is a unique opportunity to meet the producers, discover new flavours, experience our traditions and celebrate our culture through delicious food and drink!
