St Ives Food & Drink Festival 2026, 15-17 May

The St Ives Food & Drink Festival bursts onto Porthminster Beach from 15–17 May. Enjoy top chefs, live music, artisan flavours, and vibrant seaside energy throughout the weekend.

Over the weekend, you can explore an exciting mix of health and wellness activities. Visit our stall in the Community Tent, where we’ll be joining neighbouring community groups to share activities and connect with festival-goers. Expect information displays, friendly chats, competitions, raffles, and sales – and join our £100 weekend-long fundraising lottery for some festival fun!

We will be at the festival all weekend:
• Friday 15th: 12:00–18:00
• Saturday 16th: 11:00–18:00
• Sunday 17th: 11:00–18:00

On Friday 15th, our stand will be graced by the swashbuckling charrrms of Pilchard the Pirate. A huge boon during the Shanty Shout, Pilchard will once again use his piracy wiles to support our fundraising team. He’ll also help promote the lottery, as well as our health and wellbeing activities.

With many thanks to the lovely Jason Wilkinson for generously sharing his alter ego….

Visit us in the Community Tent to find out about how the Edward Hain Centre supports health, wellbeing, social connection, rehabilitation, and community resilience. You’ll find plenty of information about all of our community programmes, including groups, classes, workshops, volunteering, and exciting upcoming events.
