Local produce showcase set for the Villa again
PokerStars is to be the main sponsor of the 2017 Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival.
The festival takes place in the Villa Marina Gardens on 16 and 17 September.
Jon Weedon, who is responsible for PokerStars’ corporate sponsorships, says the company is delighted to support the Island’s premier celebration of local food and drink.
Magnet (IOM) Ltd will support the competition by supplying a kitchen to host cookery sessions and the Isle of Man Chef of the Year and Student Chef of the Year competitions.
Robinson’s and Isle of Man Teas are also sponsoring the event.
The festival will be run in association with Manx Radio, which will broadcast live from the event, promoting its ‘local focus’ campaign.
