Truro Food & Drink Festival 2024

Truro Food & Drink Festival is back for 2024.

The festival will shine a light on the many talented chefs working in Cornwall – both established and emerging, as well as the diversity of fresh local produce and the plethora of exciting home-grown food and drink brands.

With the wealth of chefs, producers, and street food vendors on our doorstep, we want this event to be as genuinely local as possible. Cornish businesses will have first refusal across the board, which will also help keep food miles and transport emissions to a minimum.

Meanwhile, Skinner’s Brewery will be taking charge of the bar, and also running evening events at The Tap Yard Bar for those who fancy a post-festival pint.

Truro College is another proud sponsor; hospitality students at the college will support the festival crew in the Chef’s Theatre, as well as demonstrate their own culinary prowess on stage.
