Penzance Food Festival

A celebration of food, community and place
This year’s festival takes place from Thursday 3rd – Sunday 6th September, from 10am until 8pm each day.
A long weekend rooted in the town’s food culture, celebrating what’s grown, caught and made here, and marking the end of summer in style.
Set in Penlee Park, Penzance Food Festival brings together Cornwall’s most exciting food, fire cooking and local producers.
As well as showcasing Cornish food and drink, the festival includes chef demos, long table feasts, a live music stage, wellness and workshops and an array of stalls of artisans and producers.
Now in its third year, Penance Food Festival has quickly become a highlight of the town’s calendar, marking the end of summer in Penlee Park.
Over three days, the park comes alive with food, producers, live cooking, workshops, music and shared feasts, running from morning through to evening. Free to attend, with a programme of bookable events announced ahead of the festival.
Local legends and independent kitchens sit alongside some of the best street food traders on the circuit. From Cornish produce to dishes inspired by flavours from around the world, Penlee Park becomes a place to eat your way through the weekend.
The Producer Tent brings together a diverse mix of growers, artisans and independent shops. From bakery, cheese and butchery to preserves, cakes and small-batch spirits, alongside printmakers, jewellers and local makers.
In The Taste Theatre; from foraging and fermenting to cooking over fire, leading chefs and local talent share techniques, stories and dishes that celebrate the region, all cooked live over Kamado Joe grills.
Wellness & Workshops take place in a quieter corner of the festival, with a programme including yoga, pilates, sound baths, massage and guided foraging walks, alongside sessions exploring fermentation and astrology.
From laid-back daytime music sets to high-energy evening performances, music runs throughout the weekend and brings the whole festival together.
With so much going on the third Penzance Food Festival promises to be another community event to remember… See you in the park!
