Taste of Scilly Festival
A celebration of the best local food and drink caught, grown, reared, distilled and produced right here on the islands...
15th - 24th September 2023
The Taste of Scilly festival returns in September 2023 with ten days of mouth-watering food and drink experiences, celebrating local provenance and island specialities.
Tuck into our unique low-food miles slow-food culture of the famously unspoilt archipelago and enjoy a fresh foodie experience to savour every day: from local tapas feasts to Scillonian produce markets, sunset rum bars to vineyard tours and evening supper safaris.
As well as events on Tresco that are listed below, there's a host of festivities across Scilly - from local farmers market on St Mary's to rum distillery tour and tasting on St Martin's.
