Welcome to St Ives Food and Drink Festival 2011. This year we will be building on our successes from last year with the event being bigger and better with more events, more things to do and see.
The Food Producers Market is moving down to West Pier making this the hub of the 2011 festival. Again this year promises to be a celebration of the very finest food and drink that St Ives and Cornwall has to offer.
We have some of the county's best food and drink producers taking part, but we also have a range of events taking place at some of the town's nationally renowned bars, restaurants and cafés.
Running from the 16th to the 22nd May and culminating in a food and drink producers’ market and cooking demonstrations on the town’s West Pier - the St Ives Food and Drink Festival gives you the opportunity to celebrate everything that is great about Cornish food and drink.
Taste, try, meet, buy, and enjoy the finest flavours and tastes that Cornwall has to offer, see some of the best chefs in the county giving cooking demonstrations and enjoy everything that St Ives has to offer, including some of the best food and drink destinations anywhere in the UK.

Today, Aspects plays host to thousands of holidaymakers who choose to make this beautiful part of West Cornwall their holiday destination every year.
