THE Falmouth Food Festival returns to the creative Cornish port for its third year on May 23-26.
This year, in partnership with Kamado Joe, the festival extends to a full four-day experience, stretching through the Bank Holiday Monday for the first time, plus extended hours until 10pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, allowing visitors more time to enjoy everything the event has to offer.
Supported by Falmouth Business Improvement District (BID), Falmouth Food Festival has grown into one of Cornwall’s culinary celebrations, attracting food lovers from across the UK and beyond.
With exciting new additions including a Kamado Joe BBQ partnership, a Wine Tasting Lounge from ELIXR Wine, a St Ives Brewery bar and an expanded schedule, the festival is set to dazzle attendees with a wealth of flavours, experiences and music.
One of the standout features of this year’s festival is the Chef’s Theatre, a brand-new addition that will showcase some of the best chefs of the South West.
The Chef’s Theatre will host live cooking demonstrations, interactive chef and producer talks, live fire-cooking, plus exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences. Festival-goers will have the chance to witness culinary magic up close as top chefs reveal their secrets and prepare unforgettable dishes live on stage.
The festival will also feature a vibrant schedule of live music, with performances from local artists, bands, and musicians who will be bringing the festival energy to the waterfront. Meanwhile, the craft and producer tent will be an emporium of hot sauces and handmade jewellery amongst many other artisanal creations.
Co-event organiser, Barney Farnworth, said: “Something special is cooking. Never before have you seen such good food and music on Falmouth’s waterfront. We put all of our love and energy into these events, because we enjoy attending them ourselves. I’d like to invite everyone to come and celebrate FFF’s 3rd birthday throughout the Bank Holiday weekend!”
