4th Annual Oyster Gathering & Local Food Harvest

Free Entry and Live Music - Easter Weekend
Flushing Quay, Falmouth - Use Late Flushing Ferry

Cornish Native Oysters - 07807 290315

 

Once again, join the oystermen and chefs in celebration of the last few days of the Fal Oyster season, which in 2013 and 2014 coincides with both Easter Weekend and the start of British Summer Time (BST). Dinings Sushi masters from London (Nr Paddington Station) are again coming to the gathering, showcasing their ‘outstanding Sushi’ (Zagat).

 
This year we have relocated to Flushing Quay, hoping that the sunset, the late Flushing Ferry links and live entertainments will keep a few visitors in the evening. The event runs Good Friday, Saturday and Easter Sunday 9am til 10pm and from 9am til 6pm on Easter Monday.


Everything should be available for the whole weekend but the daily themes are:

Good Friday – Fish & Ships see some of the traditional working fleet alongside the quay and enjoy the freshest fish, oysters, mussels, scallops, crabs etc. all landed from local boats

Saturday – End of Season Celebrations, Live Bands til 10pm, Falmouth Working Boat Association Crews are invited to witness the Passage Drift Race, hosted by Flushing Sailing Club, from the fishery: start will be 1300 from a line across the fishery outside Castaways at our home in Mylor Yacht Harbour. Walk around Trefusis and watch the ‘Last of the Traditional Oyster Fleet’ as they head to Flushing Quay (ETA 1500)
 
Easter Sunday – Celebrate the start of BST with Camel Valley Award Winning BRUT, enjoy The Waterside Sunday Carvery, with venison from Duchy Game and beef from Chyvarloe Farm

Easter Monday – Really just a relaxing atmosphere with whatever is left over! And Tregothnan Cream Teas winding down the Oyster Gathering til 6pm
