Porthleven Food Festival is an annual, award-winning, three-day food festival held in the town of Porthleven in Cornwall, returning for the weekend of 26th - 28th April 2024. Presented in partnership with acclaimed chef Jude Kereama, this free foodie event is a must in the culinary calendar.
The Festival
The free foodie event, a must in the culinary calendar, celebrates Cornwall’s leading food and drink producers, stimulates the local economy - and seeks to raise awareness of key issues relating to the environment, food culture and sustainable food production.
Thousands flock to Porthleven to tuck into celebrations, with the heart of the daytime activity held around the harbourside. The festival offers an exceptional foodie experience, for residents and visitors alike, helping to stimulate the local economy and better support the town’s community.
In addition to the festival’s most exciting chef line-up to date, a new programme of workshops, talks and masterclasses will be sparking conversations around food sustainability and produce ecology.
Expect a full weekend of entertainment including brilliant chef demos, live music, family-friendly activities, evening sessions and much more – in a whole town takeover.
