Garlic on his farm in the village, had just returned from the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California.
Colin Boswell, who had just begun to successfully grow and sell It was decided we needed a fund raising vehicle.
Meetings were held in the parish and the usual committee was formed which led to the formation of the Newchurch Parish Sports and Community Association. The community also needed a football pitch and pavilion. It lacked facilities, particularly requiring a large assembly hall that might double for a gym, concerts and other activities. Their rolls went up and down from 50 to 100 and the Council had it marked for closure if no more could be done to increase pupils. In the early '80s Newchurch Primary School had a question mark on its future. Since it first started in 1983, the Garlic Festival has grown to become one of the largest events on the Island.Īttended by at least 25,000 people each year, it has been an astounding success largely due to its curious mixture of garlic cuisine, late sixties pop festival ambiance and country fair, coupled with plenty of entertainment for children and adults. If you can't wait to experience what he does at The Garlic Festival this year, please head over to his restaurant THOMPSON' S. He was the youngest UK chef to be awarded a Michelin Star. Robert is a big fan of garlic and an inspiring ambassador for the local Island food producers. The Garlic Festival is a great way to discover this and we delighted to be joined by Robert Thompson this year.
