Truro Food Festival

Thirty-plus chefs and independent Cornish producers set up on Lemon Quay for five days of tastings, street food, festival bars and live music — the county's biggest food festival, and free to just wander round. Hands-on workshops run alongside for anyone who wants to do more than graze.

Midweek mornings are calm enough for browsing with kids in tow; come Friday and Saturday evening it turns into more of a proper festival buzz.
