Garlic Garlic Garlic!

We wrote about the Isle of Wight Garlic Festival last year, and this year we finally got to go! We set off on the Ferry to the Isle of Wight to the islands biggest summer show. We saw a number of cookery demonstrations, of course all using the vital ingredient - garlic! As well as the giant garlic marquee, with was full to the brim of all kinds of garlic in every shape and size!

There is also so much to do with the family, with activities and fun for the kids and live music and delicious food!






If you get the chance to go next year, go! We will give you a little reminder before the festival so you don't miss it!

The Isle of Wight 'Festival of the Sea'

We love the seaside at Ellie Ellie and we are very excited at the idea of visiting the Isle of Wight for the Festival of the Sea.

The Festival of the Sea will take place across the island over nine days between Saturday the 14th and Sunday the 22nd of September and there are so many great events and activities going on that it is definitely going to be a fun filled week!


During the festival there will be musical events, beach art, fishing events and cookery as well as many more interesting activities to get stuck into, all revolving around the seaside theme and celebrating the Isle of Wight's maritime history.

Set in the stunning Newchurch in the heart of the Isle of Wight, the Garlic Festival is the best of food and entertainment!
The show, on this weekend the 17th & 18th of August features a vast array of sights, tastes and produce to suit all ages. 

Just a few things going on at the festival include:
                Huge garlic marquees, featuring cookery demo’s all day long
                100’s of arts and craft stalls, businesses and mouth-watering food
                Local produce and live music on a big stage with beer tent
                Children’s entertainers, archery and giant fun fair

As well as being huge garlic fans, we love the sound of this festival and think it would be a great way to unearth yummy garlic recipes which we would love to try out.

So… In true garlic appreciation of this coming weekend we have come across a glorious garlic inspired recipe and we hope you love trying it out…
