The Isle of Wight Garlic Festival takes place in August every year at the showground in the tiny village of Newchurch on the Isle of Wight. The first festival was organised in 1983, and the event has since grown to become one of the largest events on the island each year, second only to Cowes Week. No fewer than 25,000 people attend each year. The festival is a tasty and fun event offering a combination of late 1960s pop festival ambience, country fair and great garlic cuisine.

Times
The festival lasts all day from early morning on both days.
