Falmouth Oyster Festival celebrates the start of the oyster season and the diversity and quality of Cornish Seafood and in particular, one of the last remaining traditional oyster fisheries.

The festival will open with a cookery master-class with a celebrity chef followed by a packed programme of cookery demonstrations by leading local chefs, oysters, seafood, wine and ale, children's shell painting, sea shanties, town parade, live music and marquees packed with Cornish produce and crafts. The festival has broad appeal and is a must for all oyster, seafood and marine heritage enthusiasts - come and enjoy lunch and savour the atmosphere!
