Pasties, pints, crimping and a whole lot of creative fun!
Redruth’s International Pasty & Mining Festival is taking over the town on Saturday 12th September, and the Buttermarket is your place to eat, drink and get stuck into the celebrations.
We’ll have street food, cold pints, live music, kids’ crafts and the very important business of deciding who makes the best pasty in town.
Think your pasty has what it takes? Enter our Grand Pasty Tasting Competition, with four categories: Best Amateur Traditional Cornish Pasty , Best Professional Traditional Cornish Pasty, Most Creative Edible Pasty and Best Family-Made Pasty. We may just settle the battle for the best pasty in Redruth!
Bring your entry to the courtyard between 12 and 2pm, complete the form and let our panel of judges do the tasting. There are some very tasty prizes up for grabs.
Then, when the pasties have been judged, it’s time for Pasty Festival: The Party!
In the evening, join us for street food, cold pints and live music from Sunny Side Up and 3 Daft Monkeys Duo in the courtyard.
Come hungry. Bring your best crimp. Stay for the party.
Pasty Festival in the Courtyard | from 12pm
Pasty Festival: The Party | from 6pm
