MHK to quiz Food Festival success

Questions will be asked this week about how successful this year's Food Festival was.

MHK for Arbory, Castletown and Malew, Jason Moorhouse will raise the issue in a sitting of the House of Keys tomorrow.

The question comes after government figures showed visitor numbers fell by six thousand this year. 

10,000 people attended this year’s event at the Villa Marina, compared to 16,000 in 2020.

Mr Moorhouse will ask the environment minister how successful the event was and whether she'll publish a marketing report.
