About the Festival
Porthleven Food Festival is a well-established event on the festival calendar. The not-for-profit community event brings people and food together around the stunning harbour of Porthleven in Cornwall, with a chef’s theatre, food stalls, street food, music day and night and entertainment for all.
The Festival is run by talented, committed and enthusiastic volunteers from the local community, supported by event professionals. The objectives of the Food Festival are to:
- Protect and stimulate the local economy.
- Ensure the involvement and pleasure of the whole community.
- Stimulate the growth of awareness of the environment, food culture and production, and nutrition
- Promote awareness of the extent and quality of locally produced food
- Aspire to a wider audience and a growing cultural remit
