New Team Set to Drive Arran Food & Drink Festival 2026

Exciting news for producers, businesses and food lovers across Arran as preparations for this year’s Arran Food & Drink Festival (25 October – 1 November 2026) are officially underway, with a dedicated coordination team now in place to bring the event to life.

Delivered as part of Arran’s Food Journey, a Scotland Food & Drink initiative supported by VisitArran, the festival celebrates the island’s incredible producers, growers, and makers. This year’s team will be working closely with local businesses to build on the success of previous festivals, with plans for an expanded Arran Food Ambassador scheme, farmers’ markets, and a packed programme of tastings, events and experiences across the island.

Over the coming weeks, the team will be reaching out to producers and businesses to discuss involvement, gather ideas, and start shaping the 2026 programme. If you’d like to get involved, whether as a participating business, venue, or event partner, keep an eye on this space, or get in touch directly.

More details on the festival programme will follow soon. Watch this space!
