I’m really looking forward to the Falmouth Oyster Festival, everyone is telling me that it is Cornwall’s best known and most anticipated event of the year, and one of the best specialist food events in the UK! This is my first time exhibiting, and I have a stand in the Craft Marquee on the Events Square. I’m particularly looking forward to the Oyster shucking competition and the evening of songs and shanties inspired by the sea.

Falmouth Oyster Festival
The festival itself celebrates the start of the oyster dredging season, the diversity and quality of Cornish Seafood and in particular, one of the last remaining traditional oyster fisheries, dredging by sail and hand punt.
The Event runs over four days and includes…
A Cookery Master-Class from a celebrity chef, followed by a book signing opens the festival. Packed with cookery demonstrations by leading local chefs, oysters, seafood, wine and local ale, children’s shell painting, sea shanties, a town parade, and live music, an oyster shucking competition, a Falmouth Working Boat race and marquees brimming with local produce; the festival is a must for all oyster, seafood and maritime heritage enthusiasts!
The Falmouth Oyster Festival has seen an increasing number of Cornish food and drink producers promoting their quality produce alongside the longstanding craft fair stalls in the festival marquee. Festival visitors can savour the expanding range of mouth watering Cornish food and drink, both on site whilst taking in the festival atmosphere or to take home and enjoy!
Hope to see you there!
