Newlyn Fish Festival / 27.08.12
August Bank Holiday Monday sees the annual Cornish celebration of the sea, fishing and seafood at the Newlyn Fish Festival - and this year is promising to be better than ever. TV celebrity Chef Paul Ainsworth will be opening the Newlyn Fish Festival at 10:00 am. Festival secretary Steve Ryman says, "The Festival is already the biggest of its kind in the country, and this year we set out to make it even better in terms of quality and diversity".
In addition to the main festival stage, we also have the Pirate FM music stage and now have the biggest line-up of local bands and performers that you'll find anywhere on one day in Cornwall.
Rick Stein opened the day in 2010 and was signing books on the Books Plus stand. Rick has done more than anyone else to reawaken our appreciation of seafood and he is also vice-patron of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fisherman, to which the proceeds from the festival are donated.
