This year’s Porthleven Food and Music Festival is taking place on Saturday the 26th of April around the picturesque harbour of Porthleven, west Cornwall and will be officially opened at 10am by Festival patron and celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson.
The festival will be themed ‘Local Food, Global Stage’ and is hoped to be the most exciting to date, encompassing exotic world flavours, music and entertainment.
The popular annual spring festival is now in its 6th year and is going from strength to strength attracting a staggering 18,000 people to the historic port during the main festival day in 2013.
The 2014 festival theme will pay homage to the Cornish forefathers who travelled from Cornish shores to far off places to make their way in the world, the influences of which can be seen in Cornish cooking today and in places such as Mexico where they still hold an annual pasty festival.
