Falmouth Food Festival brings four days of food, art, music and culture to Church Street and the Falmouth waterfront, with free entry. The 2026 edition ran from Friday 22 to Monday 25 May, and 2027 dates have not been announced yet - check the official site before planning travel around it.

The 2026 programme covered chefs, live cooking demonstrations, local producers, craft drinks, community stalls and live music, spread across Church Street and the surrounding waterfront rather than one single site. More than 80 traders and producers and around 30 music acts took part, in what the organiser describes as the festival’s fourth year running in Falmouth.

Most of the festival site has step-free access, with accessible toilets and nearby accessible parking. Children under 16 need a responsible adult with them, and alcohol service follows Challenge 25 rules.

Best Family Hotels in Cornwall

Best Family Hotels in Cornwall

Cornwall has more family-friendly hotel options than most people expect - it is not just cottages and caravan parks. From 4-star cliffside resorts with dedicated kids' clubs and surf schools to Victorian seafront hotels with heated pools and holiday parks with water flumes and beachside lodges, there is a range that spans every budget. The north coast from Bude to Mawgan Porth concentrates the biggest resort hotels, while St Ives and Falmouth offer more classic hotel stays with beaches on the doorstep. One practical note: peak summer weeks (late July and August) at the better-known hotels fill 6 or more months in advance - the Headland and Bedruthan in particular book solid by Christmas for the following summer.

Best Luxury Hotels in Cornwall

Best Luxury Hotels in Cornwall

Luxury in Cornwall comes in several distinct forms. There are the clifftop spa hotels - adults-only escapes with sea-view hot tubs and coastal treatments. There are the Victorian country house hotels set in landscaped grounds with pools, golf, and chauffeur services. And increasingly, there are the food-destination hotels that justify the room rate as much by what's on the plate as the thread count on the pillow. Cornwall now has 3 Michelin-starred restaurants: Paul Ainsworth at No.6 in Padstow, Outlaw's Fish Kitchen in Port Isaac, and Ugly Butterfly at the Headland Hotel in Newquay - the latter awarded in February 2026, making it Newquay's first Michelin star. That puts the county alongside some of the most food-credible hotel destinations in England. The hotels listed here represent the strongest options across the county: coast-facing spa resorts on the north coast, 5-star country houses on the Roseland, clifftop properties with direct beach access near St Ives, and a resort-scale property in Fowey. Prices vary significantly by season - the Nare Hotel, the Headland, and the Scarlet all charge substantially more in July and August than in November. Booking 3-6 months ahead for peak summer is standard at this tier.
