Arran Festival of Food & Drink
Friday 23 October – Monday 2 November 2026 In 18 days
Cafés, hotels, farms and producers across the Isle of Arran, Isle of Arran (various venues), North Ayrshire · Scotland
A ten-day, island-wide autumn celebration of Arran's farmers, bakers, brewers, distillers and chefs.
The Arran Festival of Food & Drink spreads across the whole island rather than one site. Cafés, hotels and producers put on festival specials (such as dishes made with Arran beef, venison or cheese), and there are one-off events. In 2026 these included a farm lunch at Bellevue Farm, a mini beer festival on the beach at Brodick, a food safari and a food forest trail.
Visitors can pick up a free festival passport and collect a stamp each time they try a festival special or attend an event. Four stamps enter you into a prize draw for a hamper of Arran produce. The organisers suggest getting around the island by bus.
The festival is run by Arran's Food Journey, the island's food and drink network. The 2026 edition is billed as the fifth.
