Local businesses are being invited to apply to be an exhibitor at the Isle of Man's flagship food and drink festival, now named The Big Manx Feast.
Taking place on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026 at Noble’s Park, The Big Manx Feast is a two-day celebration of the Island’s vibrant food & drink and hospitality sector.
The event will offer a refreshed take on the much-loved Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival, providing a valuable platform for new and established businesses to showcase their products, reach new customers, and contribute to one of the Isle of Man’s key events.
Applications are open to a broad range of exhibitors, including:
Local food and drink producers selling products grown, reared, caught, brewed, baked, pickled or smoked on the Island
Caterers, food trucks and hospitality businesses that showcase Manx ingredients and appeal to a broad audience, offering the likes of street food, international cuisine, specialist dishes, desserts, ice cream, or barista-style coffee
Artisan makers and specialist retailers, particularly those selling food-related products
A variety of pitch options are available to suit different requirements, including food trucks, market-style marquees (for hospitality), and various space options for food producers and artisan retailers. The event will provide essential infrastructure, including power, water access, waste facilities, and seating areas, to support exhibitors throughout the weekend. Applications must be submitted online through the Big Manx Feast website (www.bigmanxfeast.im) by Sunday 26 July 2026.
The Big Manx Feast Organising Team is seeking applications from businesses which can contribute to a high-quality and diverse event experience. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate their commitment to showcasing Manx produce and to consider launching new products or embarking on collaborations to celebrate the event.
Ollie Neale, Board Member for Business Isle of Man and Managing Director at Okell’s Brewery, commented:
‘The Big Manx Feast is shaping up to be a fantastic celebration of the very best of Manx food and drink, and we are excited to be bringing forward a brand-new look at a new location, alongside an exciting line-up of cooking demonstrations, talks and family activities to create a great weekend centred around our wonderful food and drink.
‘It is a brilliant opportunity for both new and established local producers, hospitality businesses and artisan makers to be part of one of the Island’s key events, connect with customers, and showcase the quality, creativity and passion that make our local food and drink industry so special.’
Individuals interested in doing a cooking demonstration, delivering a talk, or putting together a kid's activity, and businesses requiring support with their application, are encouraged to get in touch at iomfoodanddrink@gov.im.
