SATURDAY 16th and SUNDAY 17th AUGUST 2025

Celebrate Garlic

Since 1983, The Isle of Wight Garlic Festival has been held on the third weekend in August every year at our site at The Fighting Cocks Crossroads, just outside of Newchurch. Attended by families young and old, the Island’s Biggest Summer show plays host to star chefs, musicians, local charities and businesses and more from far and wide. With live music, children’s activities and lots of garlic, the show is not to be missed!

At the heart of the festival is of course Britain’s most loved and pungent bulb, garlic! Grown right here on the Isle of Wight, in Newchurch by the multi award-winning Garlic Farm.

You’ll find it everywhere, to eat, drink and buy!

Since 1983

Since it first started in 1983, the Garlic Festival has grown to become one of the largest events on the Island.
