One of Cornwall’s most popular food events, Porthleven Food Festival transforms the historic harbour into a celebration of Cornish produce. Chef demonstrations, producer stalls, street food vendors, feast nights, masterclasses, and live music create a weekend-long party right on the harbourside.
The intimate setting - squeezed between harbour walls and the open Atlantic - gives it a character that larger festivals can’t match. Free entry to the main festival area means you can drop in for an hour or spend the whole weekend grazing your way through Cornwall’s best food and drink.
