Local Produce & Food Festivals

Here in Cornwall we’re proud of our abundance of produce and we want everyone to try it. From locally-caught fish and grass-fed and free-range meat to the Cornish take on pad Thai and stuffed rotis – there’s plenty to shovel down or take home, just make sure you arrive hungry!

More commonly known in these parts is the modest farmers market, which crop up (pun totally intended) across the county. For produce straight from the farm and into your hands, farmers markets are a true Cornish experience.  In Cornwall a lot of food events are seasonal with times varying, we will keep you up to date so that your tummies stay full.
