An award-winning free food festival in Porthleven has announced its date, line-up of chefs and music for 2024.

The much-loved Porthleven Food Festival is set to return from April 26-28, and will feature renowned local chef Jude Kereama.

Mr Kereama said: "The 2024 festival is shaping up to be our best yet.

"Expect lots of brilliant chef demonstrations, interactive workshops, inspiring conversations, and entertainment for all the family.

"We can't wait to welcome everyone back to Porthleven for another brilliant food festival weekend next April."

This year's culinary line-up features top chefs, Michelin-starred Adam Handling, and Tom Brown.

Adam, known for winning the BBC Great British Menu 2023 Champion of Champions, is the Chef Owner of the Adam Handling Restaurant Group.

His love for British food, sustainability and his exceptional fight against food waste have made him one of the UK's top chefs.

Tom, originally from Cornwall, has worked under Michelin-starred Nathan Outlaw and maintained Michelin ratings at The Capital Hotel in Knightsbridge.

Another notable mention in the chef line-up is Will Murray, co-owner of Fallow, a sustainable restaurant based in St. James’ Market, London.

Mr Murray’s focus on showcasing ingredients typically discarded by restaurants has left a significant mark on the culinary scene.

Other culinary giants attending the festival include Chris Eden, Josh Eggleton, and Andrew Tuck.

With around 35,000 food enthusiasts expected to attend, the festival is a significant fixture in the culinary calendar.

The event, which overtakes the whole town around the harbourside, celebrates Cornwall’s leading food and drink producers, boosting the local economy and driving conversations around environmental preservation and sustainable food production.

There is also a line-up of exciting activities including the return of Ann’s Pasty Lounge and live evening music entertainment.

This year there will be the sale of a limited-edition Christmas Gourmet ticket, which includes premium parking and guaranteed seating in the Chef’s Theatre all weekend.

Tickets are priced at £45 per person, available only until December 24.
