Holidaymakers and avid foodies can experience the delights of the famous Isle of Wight Garlic Festival at The Garlic Farm near Newchurch on 15 and 16 August.

Over 20,000 visitors are expected to attend the quirky festival where they can sample a range of garlicky treats including garlic sausages, garlic prawns and hot garlic bread, whilst garlic coffee, beer and ice cream will tempt the taste buds of the more gallant gourmand.
