The ultimate food-lover’s festival touring Cornwall from 6-20 August 2021, that everyone's talking about...
While Cornwall may be most famed for our world-class beaches and surfing hot spots, we’ve also landed on the map for our fantastic food (and of course, wonderful selection of holiday homes).

And this summer Cornwall’s foodie status will be taken to the next level, with the inaugural launch of Travelling Feast a food and music festival extravaganza.
