The Food Village
Try Some of the Locals
Discover a new way to taste the best of St Ives at the St Ives Food Village – a collection of pop-up kitchens from some of the town’s most-loved restaurants, serving exclusive small plates menus throughout the festival weekend.
Set on the sand, the Food Village is all about relaxed grazing, fresh Cornish ingredients and bold coastal flavours. Whether you’re dropping in for oysters and Champagne, sharing wood-fired flatbreads, or grabbing fish tacos between live music sets, this is your chance to explore a taste of St Ives one plate at a time.
