Cornish Community Spirit: St Michaels Resort Sponsors Falmouth Oyster Festival for its Landmark 25th Anniversary.
Proudly Cornish in aesthetic and outlook, St Michaels Resort, Falmouth is delighted to be supporting a host of exciting local festivals and events this autumn, encouraging off-season travel to Falmouth for visitors keen to experience charming Cornwall, away from the summer crowds. Falmouth Oyster Festival is back for its 25th year, and as long-term advocates of this local gourmet event, St Michaels is supporting as lead sponsor for 2023.
The hotel’s connection to the sea can be felt throughout the property, from ocean views to coastal interiors, and of course the hotel’s AA Rosette awarded hotel restaurant, Brasserie on the Bay, whose menu reflects the bounties of the sea and the premium Cornish seafood available on the hotel’s doorstep. As the principal sponsor at this year’s Falmouth Oyster Festival, St Michaels will be running its own Seafood and Champagne Bar over the course of the event, offering a blend of brasserie and street food style dishes, showcasing locally sourced crab, squid and oysters. Head Chef Ady Foulkes will be offering a cookery demo at the festival on the Saturday, and an all-day roast will be served at the hotel on the Sunday, with live musical entertainment from local legend, Will Keating.
Nigel Carpenter, Chairman of St Michaels, said “St Michaels is delighted to continue its long-term sponsorship of the festival, particularly as it marks its 25th anniversary. It’s a wonderful occasion that encapsulates our Cornish community spirit, but it’s also a great opportunity to welcome friends from far and wide to this festival and town. It continues to put Falmouth on the map as a leading Cornish destination and one in which they can celebrate the incredible local delicacies that our area has to offer.”
