Introducing the Chef’s Theatre: Falmouth’s very own Epicurean Odyssey

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 & 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.

Live Music & Entertainment

It’s not just about food. Falmouth Food 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. Whether you’re enjoying a delicious plate of food, learning how to cook over fire or appreciating our beautiful coastline with a drink in hand, the sounds of Cornwall’s finest talent will make this a weekend to remember.

An Exceptional Lineup of Legendary Food Traders

This event has a reputation for handpicking the BEST of Cornish food traders offering a range of exciting cuisines. This year is no exception! From gourmet delights to fresh local seafood. Locally sourced smashed beef burgers to freshly baked pizzas. Going home hungry is not an option. The craft & producer tent will be an emporium of hot sauces and handmade jewellery amongst many other artisanal creations.

We put all of our love and energy into these events, because we enjoy attending them ourselves.
