Plans to celebrate 10th anniversary
September's Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival at the Villa Marina is being declared a success.
The ninth edition attracted more than 8,500 visitors and generated in excess of £200,000 in immediate business.
Work is already underway for an even bigger event next year to celebrate the 10th anniversary.
Organisers are now looking for sponsors.
