Newlyn Fish Festival
What’s it all about?
Celebrating all things fishy in Britain’s premier fishing port where you can satisfy your appetite with the best seafood you’re likely to find anywhere and help to raise money for the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen.
What happens?
For fish fans, you can see one of the biggest displays of fish, watch a rolling programme of cookery demos by top local chefs and watch the Cornish Fishmonger of the Year competition. There are three music stages, plenty of boats including luggers, gigs, fishing boats, lifeboats and jet skis, a DVD show, lots of arts and crafts, the Fish Tales Tent with some of the best local story-tellers and there is plenty of fun for kids with bouncy castles, face-painting, crazy theatre and the ever-popular Fishy Trail.
How can you take part?
It
all happens on August Bank Holiday Monday, in and around the harbour in
Newlyn, just west of Penzance. From the A30, follow the signs to the
Newlyn Fish Festival and look out for temporary car parks. Doors open at
09:00 and close at 17:00. Admission is £5. Under 16s are free.
