Snacktember – Smarter Snacking, One Bite at a Time
Launched by the British Nutrition Foundation, Snacktember is all about helping children and adults make more balanced snacking choices – whether that’s in lunchboxes, between meals, or on the move.
At Stockan’s, our oatcakes are baked with wholegrain oats, offering a source of fibre and slow-release energy. From Cheese Mini Oatcakes with apple slices to Thin Oatcakes topped with hummus and roasted veg, there are endless ways to make snacking both delicious and satisfying.
Looking for ideas? Keep an eye on our social channels for plant-based, protein-rich, and family-friendly topping suggestions throughout the month.
Orkney International Science Festival – Curiosity on the Islands
From 5–11 September, Orkney hosts the Orkney International Science Festival – an event that brings together innovation, island heritage and a shared love of learning.
It’s a reminder of how much forward-thinking happens right here in Orkney, and how local culture continues to balance tradition with progress – a value we understand well at Stockan’s.
Whether it’s experimenting with new oatcake flavours or continuing the craft that’s been passed down through four generations, science and care are part of our everyday lives too.
Orkney Food & Drink Festival – A Taste of the Islands
From artisan produce to long-established favourites, the Orkney Food & Drink Festival at Kirkwall Grammar School is a celebration of everything the islands have to offer.
We’re proud to be part of Orkney’s food community – and to continue baking oatcakes in Stromness with the same care and attention we’ve built our name on. If you're visiting the festival this September, be sure to stop by and say hello.
A Month of Simple Goodness
September brings the best of both worlds – a chance to reset routines while still enjoying what’s local, seasonal and satisfying. Whether you’re planning your next snack, a visit to one of Orkney’s festivals, or simply adding oatcakes to your weekly shop, we’re here to be part of it.
