Highlands & Islands Food & Drink Awards 2024

The Highlands & Islands Food & Drink Awards (HIFDA) are back for 2024. Now in its 19th year, the Awards encourage food and drink businesses to be innovative, forward thinking and collaborative and celebrate their excellence and achievement.  

See the launch press release

Food and drink businesses from the region produce a wide range of high-quality products, which have a strong competitive advantage associated to place, people and provenance.  

These awards are an established firm favourite in the industry calendar and there is a real opportunity to capitalise on this event and engage with a wider range of producers and operators in the sector.

The awards ceremony will take place on Friday 1 November 2024 in the Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness.
