New festival announced for Newquay

The inaugural Eats & Beats Festival will take place at The Barrowfields during the August Bank Holiday weekend, from Friday 22nd to Monday 25th August 2025.

Billed as a celebration of Cornwall’s vibrant food and drink scene, the event will pair local flavours with a lively soundtrack of live music. Organisers say the festival is open to all, with free entry across all four days, making it an accessible experience for both locals and visitors.

The family and dog friendly event will bring together a mix of local food and drink alongside a variety of pop-up vendors, offering everything from comfort classics to bold new flavours.

Festival organiser Matt Pooley said:
"The Eats & Beats Festival aims to not only celebrate the rich culinary offerings of Cornwall but also support our local economy by spotlighting local producers and businesses. The Barrowfields, with its stunning historic backdrop, is the perfect location for our festival, providing an unforgettable experience for all attendees across the local and visiting community."

The festival will run from 11am to 10pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and from 11am to 8pm on Bank Holiday Monday.

Free tickets cover all four days, and organisers are encouraging people to register early to stay up to date with announcements and updates.
