Truro Food Festival runs at Lemon Quay from Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 September 2026. The official site lists a producer village, street-food traders, chef demonstrations and live music, with the detailed 2026 chef and workshop programme still to come.
Daytime activity is centred on Lemon Quay. The organiser also advertises evening after-parties at Skinner’s Brewery, which can have their own programme and booking terms. This page treats those separate evening listings independently from the free main festival.
Visitor information
Dates: Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 September 2026.
Venue: Lemon Quay in Truro. Fringe events and after-parties can use other city venues.
Admission: The organiser confirms that general entry to the Lemon Quay festival is free and does not require a ticket. Food, drink and any separately ticketed fringe activity cost extra.
Hours: The official site gives 10am to 4pm. The organiser’s social channels have advertised different finishing times on different days, so confirm the closing time on the day you plan to go rather than assuming a single schedule across all five days.
Programme: The 2026 producer, chef demonstration and workshop details are still being published. Check the live site for the schedule rather than using the previous year’s programme.
Name: The organiser now calls the event Truro Food Festival; it was previously promoted as the Great Cornish Food Festival.
