After a successful debut in 2025, the festival is set to become a biennial feature in Orkney's autumn calendar, with the next event set to be held on 18 - 19 September 2027.

From beer, biscuits, and sourdough bread, to gin, cheese, chutney and award-winning whiskies and rums, Orkney's talented food and drink producers have claimed awards around the world and the festival brings them all together in one taste bud-tingling showcase.

Visitors can expect live cookery demonstrations from both visiting celebrity chefs and talented locals, using the freshest of Orcadian ingredients to inspire you in the kitchen. Orcadian producers will host stalls where you can taste-test products, and there will be plenty of special offers available too.

Exclusive food and drink experiences are very much part of the festival, including cocktail masterclasses, wine tastings, distillery tours, and much more. Orkney's bars and restaurants will have some dining deals on offer too.
