Keep out the winter chill in Seasalt knits, outerwear and funky wellies…fabulous, colourful and warm, all the layers you need for a bracing clifftop walk...

Taking place on Bank Holiday Monday the area within the fish market on Newlyn's harbour front will be entirely devoted to bringing people a taste of the sea. Seafood stands will be selling grilled Cornish sardines, mackerel, Newlyn crab, lobster, mussels, cockles, fish kebabs, Goan dishes, seafood paella, seafood dishes from renowned restaurant Moshi Moshi and a whole host more...

Industry representatives will also be on hand to offer advice and information on a wide variety of subjects from quotas to careers.

There will be workshops and tasting sessions organised by Seafood Cornwall demonstrating fish preparation and the many ways to eat fish. In a grand flurry of bidding the now traditional festival fish display will be auctioned to the public at 4pm.

And if you aren't a big fish fan then don't worry - harbourside entertainment is at hand to take your mind off the slippery blighters. Art, craft, local non-fishy food exhibitors and the now traditional gig race (in aid of the RNLI) will be launched to complement the festival. And don't miss ICE, a breathtaking performance by ha!Theatre, featuring large ice sculptures and frozen displays coming to life.

Be prepared for a fabulous spectacle of sights, sounds, tastes and smells!
