ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Truro Food Festival is Cornwall’s biggest celebration of food, drink, and local talent — now bigger and better than ever with five full days of flavour, entertainment, and community spirit. While the heart of the festival is set on Lemon Quay, the food fest vibes spill out across Truro’s streets, bringing music, mouth-watering aromas, and market stalls to every corner of the city.

Organised by Cornwall Event Cabins and Truro Farmers Market — the same team behind the much-loved Truro Christmas Market — this is a true celebration of Cornwall’s vibrant food scene and creative community. From sizzling street eats to artisan producers, chef demos, live music, hands-on workshops, and family-friendly fun, there’s something here for everyone.
