The Isle of Man's Queenie Festival has made it onto a list of food festivals published by a national newspaper in the United Kingdom.

It's included in a roundup of gastronomic events, hand picked by Independent food writers David Graham and Fiona Roberts.

The pair describe the Queenie Festival as 'a chance to celebrate the Island's world-renowned queen scallops'.

The event is being staged for only the second time this year, and will run for three days from Friday, July 9.
