First established in 1983, the festival has become one of the Island's largest and most popular summer shows. Centred in the heart of the Island, outside Arreton and Newchurch, the festival runs from the August 15 to August 16. As well as some of Britain’s most loved and pungent garlic, the event will also feature a range of stalls including arts and crafts, catering, face painting and funfair attractions. Other Island food on offer will include burgers, pizzas, ice cream and the Island's own tomatoes. The event is ticketed and these can be purchased on the door.
