The public is being urged to shop local today and help support Manx producers.
It’s the first day of the annual Food and Drink Festival which showcases the range of products available on Island.
The festival will take place today and tomorrow, between
10am and 4pm, at the Villa Marina in Douglas.
Admission is £5 for adults and free for those under 16.
Kim Etherton from the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, says the focus is very much on ‘Manx’:
