The tenth anniversary of Porthleven Food Festival saw record numbers of visitors to the port, with more than 40,000 people estimated to have attended.

Sunshine on all three days played a large part in bringing out the crowds, who were able to enjoy more on offer than ever before.

For the first time in its history, the festival took place over three full days, with a farmers' market and stalls on the Moors, together with live music, on Friday.

Saturday then saw the peak numbers, with between 20,000 and 25,000 people believed to have attended on that day alone, with a further ten to 15,000 on Sunday.

Festival patron Antony Worrall Thompson opened the Chefs' Theatre on the Saturday with Porthleven's Jude Kereama, launching two full days of demonstrations.

More than 150 traders were there to sell their produce, which included a vast array of hot food in the shipyard, a marquee filled with cakes, cheeses, alcohol and raw produce on the Moors and more stalls around the harbour.

The food was accompanied by a feast for the ears, with live music performed all over the village at the Lime Kiln, on the Harbour Head and on the Moors, where there was also a children's area and literary festival.

Visitors swarmed through the town, with the clean up operation continuing into Monday.

Festival director Alec Short said: "We experienced record numbers due to the weather. I think people made a day of it, more than coming in, visiting and going. It was the best one."
