The Island's first Food and Drink Festival is proving a great hit.

All manner of produce and culinary delights are available for tasting at the Villa Marina where the main event of the weekend is taking place.

TV chefs, The Hairy Bikers, who are judging the great 'Manx Bake-off' are drawing in large crowds.

Manx Radio's farming correspondent John Kennaugh is there. He says there now seems to be a real appetite for local produce and he's amazed it's taken so long for us celebrate Manx food.

Whilst the main event is being held at the Villa Marina, there are other events going on all round the Island, including tours of farms and the Kipper Factory in Peel. The Festival continues tomorrow (Sunday).
