Thanks to Krissy for this reminder. Ed
The highlight of the event will be a West Wight Primary School 5-aside Football competition, which is being kicked off the IW Vice Lord-Lieutenant, Sir Guy Acland, Bt. Each boy and girl taking part will receive a free breakfast made from locally produced Isle of Wight food.
Third year for sports centre
Sponsored by the NFU, it’s the third year the West Wight Sports Centre has taken part in the nationwide event, aimed at celebrating the range and wealth of local food and highlighting the importance of a healthy breakfast.
The free farmhouse breakfast will be a bacon roll, sausage bap, scrambled eggs on toast or a bowl of Calbourne Mill muesli – all locally produced, of course. Anyone doing sport at the centre during the morning, including swimming lessons or the circuit class, will also receive a voucher for a free breakfast.
Chicken show!
For those not involved in the football there will be the chance to see where chickens come from with a chicken (real chickens!) show taking place, look around farm machinery from Kings Manor Farm, get up close with bees from Quarr Abbey and the opportunity to buy from Briddlesford Lodge Farm Shop who will be on site and are supplying most of the produce.
The event also launches the build up to this year’s Royal Isle of Wight County Show on 28th June at County Showground, Northwood.
