Description

The Penzance Food Festival 2025 is a free three-day celebration of Cornish food, culture, and community, happening from September 19 to 21 at Penlee Park. Open daily from 10 am to 8 pm, the festival returns after a successful debut in 2024. Set under the trees near the riverside, it brings together local chefs, artisans, musicians, and food lovers in a scenic and welcoming space.

Live culinary demonstrations, including open-fire sessions with Kamado Joe barbecues, are available to festival attendees at the Taste Theatre. Expect a delectable selection of fresh vegetables, artisan street food, and craft beverages from more than 50 vendors. In addition, there is a tranquil spa area with yoga, sauna treatments, breathwork, and sound baths. Every evening, live music is performed to end the day with positive energy and local artists.

Sustainability is central to the event's mission—there are no single-use plastics, all serveware is compostable, and most food and ingredients are sourced within a 30 km radius. Organized by the passionate team behind the Falmouth and Newquay food festivals, Penzance Food Festival continues to support the local economy while creating an eco-conscious, community-driven experience that celebrates the true spirit of Cornwall.
