Truro Food Festival ran at Lemon Quay from Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 September 2026, and 2027 dates have not been announced yet. New for 2026 were Chef’s Table Feasts, ticketed set-menu dinners from named chefs, alongside the producer village, street-food traders and chef demonstrations.
Daytime activity is centred on Lemon Quay. In 2026 the organiser also ran evening after-parties at Skinner’s Brewery, with 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.
