Isle of Wight Garlic Festival, is it alwight?

[Bagpuss]

Other than the obvious attraction of seeing the Wurzels perform their number one hit, is the trip over worthwhile ?

Has anyone been?

The Isle of Wight Garlic Festival

[Glutton4...]

IOW yes, Garlic Festiival, no!

Went to watch a Powerboat racing weekend years and years ago - soooooooo much money!

Planted Wight ? Garlic myself this year - watch this space!

Me too, looking healthy at the mo but keeping fingers cross that the cloves form.

Isle of Wight great, garlic festival ok, but crowded (I speak as a resident of the Island)

I've not been to the festival but visited the farm once. I thought it was way over rated and is basically a fancy farm shop. Sure you can walk round the garlic fields but thats it.

Hi Bagpuss,

As you can see from this thread I asked a similar Q myself a while ago, I'm probably going to go this year. OH is keen too after seeing it on TV.

I think the garlic ice cream may well have swung the vote ! The chilly bash looks interesting too....Just has to sell it to the OH now
