Visitors to Porthleven’s annual Food Festival, now in its 11th year, can expect to find good music, great atmosphere and delicious food and drink from some of the best local food producers in Cornwall. Across three days there’s plenty for festival goers to enjoy, including live music from BBC Introducing Cornwall and a host of local acts.
