It´s the place to celebrate the little white allium
A Great Garlic Festival not to be missed. Summer and its new season of a fresh crop of brilliant food festivals popping up across the UK. Whatever your gastronomic preference, Britain has it covered. If there ever was a niche food festival, then the Isle of Wight Garlic Festival is it.
Where: Isle of Wight Garlic Festival southern England
When: August every year
Celebrating the endless versatility of the little white allium. Of course, it’s not just garlic, there’ll be other delicious local produce on offer, like meats, cheeses, honey and cider. Don’t miss the chance to tickle your taste buds and try some garlic fudge!
Getting there: The Isle of Wight sits four miles off the coast of Hampshire. Portsmouth in Hampshire is an hour and 40-minute train journey from London. Regular ferries run between Portsmouth Harbour and the Isle of Wight.
Music Festivals. Many music festivals, but Glastonbury at Reading may not appeal as a niche festival. Get on and try the British countryside and one of these more laid-back, specialist festivals instead. Never heard about “Just So Festival”? More a family festival taking place in August near Scholar Green in Cheshire.
