The organisers of the Porthleven Food Festival have announced new dates for next year.

The decision has been made in response to current government restrictions on businesses and events and projections by the organisers on when life might start to return to normal.

Porthleven Food Festival will now take place on July 2nd to 4th 2021.

Festival Committee Chairman Alec Short said:

"We usually open ticket sales in December and we know locals, traders and visitors are looking for information on what's happening with the Festival.

"We were the first event in Cornwall, possibly nationwide, to cancel our 2020 event just a few weeks before we went into the first national lockdown.

"It has been a truly terrible year for the UK events industry and we want to give the Food Festival the best chance it has to go ahead in a fun format that's as close to normal as we can possibly make it. This is always a great party in Porthleven and we don't want to lose that for another year."

The team behind the festival is hoping to deliver the event as close to its normal format as possible, there could be further developments as more information comes on lockdowns, tiers and vaccines.
