A local farmer has reacted to the announcement that there won't be a Food and Drink Festival this year.
Stuart Meade of Fire Island, a chilli farm in Ballaugh, said that he's hugely disappointed at the Department of Environment Food and Agriculture's decision to cancel this year's festival.
He says this will have a knock-on effect for many of the Island's local producers as well as his own business:
