Highland Feast
16th July - 18th July 2010

Now hurtling towards its Twelfth successful year, Highland Feast – as the North’s biggest and best food and drink festival is affectionately known – is a lively celebration of some of the finest produce in the world, namely Highland Food and Drink.
Highland Feast 2010 will see the usual effervescent mix of epicurean events and entertainment, staged in a number of diverse and dramatic locations across the beautiful Highlands and Islands!
Last year’s vibrant Feast menu featured an abundance of tempting options ranging from dinners served with a side of drama, glitzy ceilidhs and cruises, to porridge-making championships and farmers’ markets. Add to this a generous helping of special accommodation deals and you have all the ingredients for the north’s premier food and drink event.
