Truro Food Festival runs at Lemon Quay from Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 September 2026. New for 2026 are Chef’s Table Feasts, ticketed set-menu dinners from named chefs, alongside the returning producer village, street-food traders and chef demonstrations.
Daytime activity is centred on Lemon Quay. The organiser also advertises evening after-parties at Skinner’s Brewery, which run their own programme and booking terms separate from the free main festival. Fringe events around the city include a Cornish pasty-making class with Ann’s Pasties and a foraging walk with Emma Gunn, both booked separately.
