Rachael Gaunt is a St Ives based food blogger who works within seasonal ‘Cornish Coastal’ abundance to present health and wellbeing in a fun and accessible way. Her food and wellbeing adventures are documented on Instagram at @l.o.v.e_cornwall. This year she brings three of her favourite tiny talks to the festival, via a 30-minute interview format with local experts hosted in the new Chefs Table masterclass venue.
Ruth Weaver is a Medical Herbalist and founder of The Apothecary in Penzance. With 15 years of clinical practice Ruth delivers natural person-centred holistic care using herbal medicine and nutrition. The Apothecary opened in December 2025 and has since supported thousands of people in the community and beyond. Ruth runs educational talks, workshops and medicinal foraging walks.
Ruth will talk about the mood lifting power of plants. Cornish born, Ruth grew up in a small town near Lands End, England where the surrounding countryside consists of abundant, ancient hedgerows and coast paths on which many plant species grow wild. Walking in these ancient landscapes that are so rich in the history of primitive life- it is second nature to connect with the ancient ways.
