MAKE & Mend Company will be taking over Preston Park Museum & Grounds, with a jam-packed programme of craft workshops, inspiring talks and wellbeing sessions. 

The festival created by two friends, Rachel Willis and Lyndsey Stephenson, is the first of its kind in the region and extols the virtues of crafting, creating and making for health, wellbeing and, of course, fun.

Festival time in Boscastle

THIS year’s #Boscastle Food, Art & Craft Festival is on October 3-4.

Last year’s #festival attracted more than 4,000 visitors to the small coastal village in #Cornwall.

Chris Searle, treasurer of the festival committee, says: ‘We raised a record £9,300 for local charities and the community last year. The festival is a great way to strengthen the fantastic community spirit that we have in Boscastle. It also provides a great showcase of all that we have to offer on the county’s north coast and Cornwall as a whole.’

The festival started 10 years ago to raise awareness that the village was alive, well, and open for business – as well as for raising funds for local charities – after floods devastated the village in 2004. It’s now a magnet for artisan producers, foodies, music-lovers, artists, and craftspeople.
