Newlyn Fish Festival

Celebrating all things fishy in one of Cornwall's most distinctive and original fishing ports where you can satisfy your appetite with the best seafood anywhere whilst enjoying great cooking demos, live entertainment or bidding at the seafood auction.

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 see the Big Fish-filleting Challenge (the winner of which will be the Cornish Fishmonger of the Year). There are three music stages, plenty of boats including luggers, gigs, fishing boats, lifeboats and jet skis, lots of arts and crafts and a 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.

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.
