About

Since 1983, The Isle of Wight Garlic Festival has been held on the third weekend in August every year at the site at The Fighting Cocks Crossroads, just outside of Newchurch. Attended by families young and old, the Island’s Biggest Summer show plays host to star chefs, musicians, local charities and businesses and more from far and wide. With live music, children’s activities and lots of garlic, the show is not to be missed! 

There’s no such thing as garlic breath at the Isle of Wight Garlic Festival, as garlic lovers from across the globe unite to celebrate this pungent ingredient. You’ll find all things garlic here: ice-cream, popcorn, fudge, biscuits, sweetcorn, mushrooms and more. Britain’s most powerful garlic is produced just minutes from the festival site and is here and ready to be sampled.

Garlic is not the only item on the menu; there will be live entertainment from a variety of musical acts, arena fun with ‘The Garlic Games’, falconry displays and children’s entertainment; and a larger than life fun-fair with rides suitable for all family members. Head to the beer tent to enjoy a cold refreshing ale or, if you prefer a non-alcoholic beverage, check out the tea tent for an unforgettable afternoon tea experience.

A heady mix of country fair, pop festival and a vampire’s worst nightmare, this festival offers everything for the family!
