SATISFY YOUR APPETITE – SCOTLAND'S YEAR OF FOOD AND DRINK

2015 is Scotland's Year of Food and Drink, making it the ideal time to explore the many tempting places to eat, drink and be merry in Scotland. 

From fine dining at Michelin starred restaurants to a memorable lobster 'n' chips by the sea, through to sampling unique produce and dishes like haggis, Cullen skink and cranachan, there will be plenty to tuck into. 

And let's not forget Scotland's most famous tipple – whisky – which you can sample at a distillery or hip and happening bar.

THE YEAR OF FOOD AND DRINK IS A CHANCE TO SPOTLIGHT, CELEBRATE AND PROMOTE SCOTLAND’S NATURAL LARDER AND QUALITY PRODUCE TO OUR PEOPLE AND OUR VISITORS.

The Year is a Scottish Government initiative led by EventScotland and VisitScotland that will capitalise on the momentum created by the previous Year of Food and Drink in 2010 and Homecoming Scotland 2014.

Potential applicants for event funding are advised to contact EventScotland to discuss their applications in advance of submitting an application form.

If your event is already supported via another EventScotland funding programme, or you are planning to submit an application to the National Programme and you wish to apply for support towards specific new food and drink activity for 2015, please contact EventScotland to discuss this before completing an application form. 

Event funding for 2015 from The Community Food Fund will be channelled through this programme and, as such, application information may be shared with colleagues at SRUC as part of the assessment process. By submitting an application you are agreeing for this information to be shared as noted. This means that events applying for funding for food and drink related activity will only need to submit one application for support during 2015.

A range of resources are available to help you use local produce at your event, improve your online presence, and be part of the Year of Food and Drink. For more information please go here >>
