THE PORTHLEVEN FOOD FESTIVAL 2024 TAKES PLACE BETWEEN FRIDAY 26 AND SUNDAY 28 APRIL 2024 IN THE BEAUTIFUL CORNISH TOWN. COME HUNGRY FOR ONE OF THE BEST FOOD FESTIVALS IN CORNWALL 2024…
Food, glorious food. We all love incredible nosh, especially when it’s local. And the annual Porthleven Food Festival is all about great Cornish grub.
This celebration of all things gourmet takes place in Porthleven every spring and there’s always a scrumptious side order of live music to go with one of the best foodie weekends of the year in Cornwall. Prepare for a tasty time at the Porthleven Food Festival 2024.
Porthleven‘s food festival is billed as an event that ‘brings families and foodies together’. Enjoy ‘eats and beats’ around Porthleven‘s picturesque harbour.
The three-day celebration between Friday 26 and Sunday 28 April 2024 is presented in partnership with much-loved chef Jude Kereama and it aims to celebrate Cornish food and drink producers, plus stimulate the local economy in the town. For the 2023 fest, celebrity chef and ‘returning festival supporter’ Anthony Worrall Thompson presented the event alongside Kereama.
The festival, which is one of the best food festivals in Cornwall 2024, features an impressive lineup of leading chefs who will present cooking demonstrations and talks, ‘sparking conversations around food sustainability and produce ecology’.
What chefs on at the Porthleven Food Festival 2024? Of course, Jude Kereama is there, as well as Tom Brown, Tom Barnes, Elly Wentworth, Josh Eggleton, Kate Attlee and many more big culinary names in the local scene.
And what bands are playing the Porthleven Food Festival 2024? 3 Daft Monkeys, Beans on Toast, UK Fleetwood Mac, DJ Pork Pie and many other fab musical groups and performers.
New guest chef ‘feast nights’ during the 2023 fest were a big hit and there was an array of food experiences alongside workshops, family activities and other fun entertainment. Expect the return of the feast nights at the Net Loft in 2024 alongside comedy roasts, family fun, a food market, street food offerings and all that live music.
Awareness is always raised at the festival on ‘key issues relating to the environment, food culture and sustainable food production’. More than 30,000 people could visit the festival in 2024, which is based at the harbourside but actually takes over the whole town.
There are car parks next to the festival site, so use them. Do not clog up the roads around the area. But do clog up your arteries with grand grub. No, seriously, bring an empty stomach to this fabulous festival of food at the front of Porthleven. This is the way that the best tuck in Cornwall should be celebrated.
