With a food and drink marquee featuring beautiful local produce and talent around the county, from artisan breads and cakes, to fresh seafood, chocolatiers, organic farmers and cider brewers – there is something for everyone. Throughout the weekend there are also sand art workshops for kids, food foraging walks by the Fat Hen, guided talks of St Ives and cooking demonstrations from some of the very best chef’s Cornwall has to offer.

Bound to be an excellent weekend, the sun is even predicted to shine!
