Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight 2022

Be part of the nation's biggest food and drink celebration this September

Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight is back for 2022. This autumn, the annual celebration returns to recognise and celebrate the retailers, hospitality businesses, regional food groups, ambassadors and producers that make Scotland’s food and drink sector extraordinary.  

The Fortnight will run from 2 - 16 September, and the industry is being encouraged to get involved and share their stories with the nation and beyond.

Whether you're a chef, a producer, a retailer or simply a food and drink lover who supports all that our food and drink sector has to offer, there are lots of ways to get involved and share Scotland’s stories.

#StoriestoSavour

With this year being our Year of Stories, the Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight 2022 theme is #StoriestoSavour, with the aim of unearthing Scotland’s most exciting products, innovative producers, and remarkable regions that tell the stories of our nation’s unique food and drink industry.

The Fortnight will celebrate everything the industry has to offer and savour the stories behind each and every one of Scotland’s authentic products. From Fife’s buffalo ice cream to Glaswegian rum, our nation is full of captivating food and drink stories and Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight will be sharing them for everyone to savour. They'll be spotlighting the trend-setters, the change makers and the creative thinkers, with no tale left untold.
