The Guernsey International Food Festival will return to the island this autumn, running from 23rd September until 2nd October.
Returning for its second year, the ten day festival will showcase the best of island food, celebrating the quality and variety of local produce.
Groups can enjoy special promotions in restaurants and cocktail bars, as well as live cooking demonstrations, cook offs, chef masterclasses, gastronomic tours and gala dinners.
Guernsey's island producers and chefs will combine forces to showcase produce and cuisine from Guernsey, Alderney, Herm and Sark.
This has developed from its geographical position allowing it to fuse English and French gastronomy whilst harnessing fresh produce from the land and sea.
Highlight events
The Big Guernsey Market will be the festival focal point in the capital of St Peter Port, featuring stalls from local producers and chefs. Accompanying it will be the Guernsey Beer & Cider Festival offering local beers and ciders.
Food Lab will return one evening, during which the island's leading chefs will be randomly matched with local producers in a challenge to create innovative dishes.
In a separate evening challenge, Guernsey's vintners and sommeliers will have three minutes to present their favourite wine to a voting audience in Make Your Case.
The full line-up of events and activities will be revealed over the coming months.
