Celebrate great food and drink in St Ives

Preparations for the St Ives Food and Drink Festival, taking place between 21^st and 27^th May 2012, are well underway.

The town comes alive during the festival with many of its local producers, chefs and resident foodies coming out to soak up the atmosphere of this exciting festival.

There will be many events taking place over the festival including fishing and cooking your catch, coastal wild food walks and wine and cheese tasting evenings. For a full calendar of events taking place over the festival please click here.

There will also be cookery demonstrations by some of St Ives’ leading chefs on the Harbour Beach (opposite The Sloop Inn) on Saturday 21^st and Sunday 22^nd.  The cookery demonstrations will begin at 2pm, 3pm and 4pm on each day so arrive early to ensure you get a front row spot.

The West Pier will host a producers market on Saturday and Sunday with many of the county’s leading food and drink producers showcasing and selling their produce. Sample and buy lots of delicious goodies including wine, cider, chocolate, cheese, meat, chutneys and curry. For a full list of producers exhibiting please click here.
