St. Ives Food and Drink Festival

Porthminister Beach 15th – 17th May 2026

If you love good food, great music, and a lively atmosphere by the sea, the St Ives Food and Drink Festival is a weekend you won’t want to miss. It’s one of the town’s biggest annual highlights, bringing together talented local producers, brilliant chefs, and musicians from across the region.

There’s genuinely something for everyone. Wander through the artisan tents during the day, sample delicious treats from food and drink vendors, and catch live cooking demos that always draw a crowd. The festival buzzes with energy, and the mix of flavours, smells, and sounds makes it a joy to explore.

As evening arrives, the celebrations continue at The Lighthouse Stage, where new and exciting artists perform against the stunning backdrop of St Ives Bay. It’s a magical setting and a fantastic way to round off the day.

Do keep in mind that tickets are required for the Evening Music Sessions, so it’s worth planning ahead if you’d like to enjoy the nighttime entertainment.
