Enjoy live music at the new stage

The Flavour Fest live music stage  is back again! Bringing good vibes and fantastic energy to the stage across the weekend, get ready for local bands, solo artists and duo’s set to feature over the three days. 

You'll find the music on the stage at Civic Square opposite Plymouth Guildhall. Soak up the action with a drink from the fully stocked onsite bar which has been provided by The Treasury Bar and Trevethan Gin Distillery. 

Watch cooking demonstrations

Back by popular demand, we are thrilled to see the live demonstration stage return this year! The cooking stage, which this year is sponsored by PL1 Events, features some of the area's best chefs who come along to serve up some cracking dishes and share their culinary wisdom. 

This year's programme is packed with demonstrations and talks across the weekend, with top chef’s including Richard Hunt, Michael Barber, City College chef’s Chris Penn and Richard Farleigh and so much more set to appear across the three days of fun.
