Small islands, big flavour

Plans for The Big Eat Guernsey 2026 are well underway, with a growing programme of exciting events and month-long menus already confirmed. As the festival continues to build momentum, we’d love to encourage more industry partners to take part.

Launching in April 2026, with a return in October, The Big Eat is a key opportunity to showcase Guernsey’s food and drink offering as part of a coordinated, high-profile campaign positioning the island as a leading foodie destination.

So far, there are more than 40 confirmed menus and events, many of which span multiple venues. We would love to add more!
