Six weeks to the Fortnight

The Fortnight is the annual celebration of Scotland’s fantastic produce which takes place every September and 2012 is shaping up to be the most successful yet with 94 events registered so far. Participants include multiple and smaller retailers such as independent delicatessens and farm shops, food service businesses, food festivals, Farmers’ Markets, food groups, visitor attractions and restaurants who celebrate the Fortnight with a range of activities from in-store tastings to special events and menus across the country. The Fortnight is open to interpretation and can be tailored to individual businesses' needs and activities, offering a strong promotional hook. Events can be registered for free direct to www.scottishfoodanddrinkfortnight.co.uk and downloadable materials will soon be available from the site free of charge. The Fortnight logo is available for use on request.
