Shetland Food Festival

5 - 13 Nov 2011, Shetland Mainland

PLEASE NOTE: This event has now finished
 
  • Cookery Demonstrations
  • Wide range of foods on offer
  • Salmon Steaks
  • Tasting Sessions
 
Shetland produces some wonderful food: exceptional lamb, fine beef, sumptuous cheeses, superbly fresh fish and shellfish and some more unusual specialities such as seawater oatcakes, Shetland Black potatoes and more-ish fudge!

The area felt that a celebration of all this was long overdue, so they established the Shetland Food Festival in 2008. Everybody is welcome to come along and satisfy their appetite!

The individual events will be promoted separately on this website as locations and prices will vary. But to give you a taste of this festival, highlights of the event will include:

• Cookery demonstrations and within the Food Theatre is Ready, Steady, Shetland, their take on the popular TV programme, Ready, Steady, Cook.
• Producers’ Market – showcasing the best of Shetland’s harvest from land and sea

• Other food-related events throughout the islands

As with last year, part of the Food Festival will coincide with the Christmas Craft Fair.

Scotland’s Islands - the events, exhibitions and activities happening all year round.

We list every event we hear of, large and small, taking place on the islands of Scotland or taking place elsewhere and relating to Scotland's Islands. They provide a unique opportunity to savour the diversity and excitement of island life.


There has never been a better time for you to visit Scotland's Islands, to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and unspoilt beaches, to get close to dramatic wild-life, learn about our heritage, participate in a great range of activities, and enjoy our music, food and drink.


All this on some of our 99 inhabited islands large and small (and many more uninhabited) accessible by sea and air in six regions: Argyll & Bute, Highland, North Ayrshire, Orkney, Outer Hebrides and Shetland.
