In Events Square there’s a daytime artists and Cornish crafts market as well as free fun for all the family at the “Science in the Square” on Friday, while in the evening you’ll find a great line up of music acts. There are daily live performances on the Prince of Wales pier featuring music, street theatre and dance, you’ll find a local market in the marquee on The Moor and you can take a fascinating guided history walk around Falmouth.

How can you take part?
Get in the groove and join in the fun at concerts, ceilidhs, sessions and workshops. Cornwall benefits from some of the best weather in the UK but the Folk Festival differs from all others in that there’s the added advantage of all venues being undercover and in the warm. So if it's raining outside there's no problem as you can kick back and listen to some great folk music whilst sampling local Cornish food and enjoying a wide choice of Cornish real ales and ciders.

There’s the traditional crowning of the carnival queen followed by the floral dance, you can compete in the crab catching and swimming competitions, experience the giant pasty ceremony, get caught up in the exuberance of the carnival, watch the magical torch light dinghy procession on the water and spend the evenings on the harbour listening to performances ranging from The Last Night of the Proms to rock.

Cornish Summertime & Steam - Bodmin & Wenford Railway
Bodmin & Wenford are hosting two evenings of food and entertainment celebrating Cornish summertime with heritage steam travel and home grown produce and talent!
For the 20th July event we welcome The Kitchen, Atlantic Brewery and The Grenaways.
Food for the evening will be provided by Ben and Rory from The Kitchen, Falmouth. The best way to understand what The Kitchen is all about is to let them describe it in their own words."In Cornwall, the larder stretches from the sea to the shoreline, from the land to woods. So we don’t import anything, and most is on the doorstep. All freshly grown, shot or foraged" Sounds good to us! With a meat and a vegetarian option, the menu is still to be confirmed, but to quote Rory: “The only known is that it'll be Lamb from the Cornish Lamb Co (really amazing, organic farm; the lambs are left to prong in the fields with their families and grow a little older).
The team from Atlantic Brewery will also be on hand with a fully stocked bar and the chance to sample their full array of delicious tipples.
Entertainment will come from The Grenaways, the band will be playing as an acoustic trio with a mellow set and then something to liven things up later in the evening.
For the 31st August event we welcome Jamie Oliver's Fifteen who will be bringing along friends from Sharp’s Brewery, Polgoon Vineyard & Orchard and Tarquin’s Cornish Gin.
They will be offering a ‘totally Cornish’ four course menu including canapes, starter, main course (with a vegetarian alternative) and dessert.
The evenings start from 6pm.
Tickets are £49.50 per person including food, entertainment, steam train travel and the chance to sample a selection of drinks. There will also be a bar available.
Please advise whether you require meat or vegetarian (or have any special dietary requirements) when booking.
