 Once again the community and businesses
of Porthleven have pulled together with
astounding enthusiasm to bring you the fourth Porthleven Food and Music Festival. What a
day it was! If you were here this year,
you would have been pleased to see all the new events and
talent on show.It was a feast for all your senses!
Several thousand people came to Porthleven and enjoyed the array of
free activities we had throughout the day.
We want to thank all those who expressed their admiration in the organisation and planning. Visitors and stallholders all said how welcoming the stewards were and how helpful. A big thank you to all our stewards who worked tirelessly throughout the whole day from 7am to 10pm.
We received many thanks from visitors and locals who enjoyed the sheer variety on offer. There was so much to see and do, that nobody could see all of it in the one day.
During this year's Festival, we encouraged the children to learn more about the food they eat and how to prepare it. during the weeks before the Festival, our chefs went into the local schools and demonstrated their skills to the children who often helped. Following this, on the day of the Festival, the children came and helped with the demonstrations and actually demonstrated to other children on the Young Person's Field. It was a great success!
There was so much
to do and see this year.
- Watching the cookery demo's in the Main Marquee and Young Persons Field;
- grabbing something to eat or take home from our stall holders (all of which we are proud to say, are from Cornwall);
- whiling away the time enjoying the music on the Lime Kiln Stage
- being entertained by wonderful, talented street performers.
There were lots of activities for kids too - on the Young Persons Field
Once again, we had our fabulous Fishermen's BBQ and new for this year - there was
also the chance to get the kids involved whilst exploring our beautiful village, with the help of our unique Arts Trail.
All of this kept visitors munching, dancing and smiling all day long.
Why not look at the photos of our latest Festival!!!
