St Ives Food and Drink Festival Weekend

This year’s St Ives Food & Drink Festival felt a little bit magic. Maybe it was the sun showing up for all three days, maybe it was the buzz from the beach, or maybe it was just one of those weekends where everything clicked.

The event was brilliantly run by the team at Mission Code, who kept the whole show feeling effortless. Massive shoutout to Mick Smith, the legends at Porthminster Cafe, and every single chef who gave their time to bring the demo stage to life. The food, the energy, the generosity – everything was top tier.

To the traders who took a punt, especially in a year where things aren’t easy for festivals or small businesses: thank you. These events matter. They bring people together, create a space to celebrate talent, and remind us how good things can be when the stars align.

We’ll be sharing more moments from the weekend soon, there are far too many great ones to keep to ourselves. But for now, here’s a little taste of the good times. Here’s to next year.
