Falmouth Oyster Fringe

Despite what many students think Falmouth's Oyster Fringe, held at Discovery Quay, is not just about celebrating the native Fal Oyster season but rather another excellent opportunity for the community to once again come together and celebrate Cornwall's diversity. The large but cosy marquee was filled to the brim with festival goers, Stall Holders, Local restaurateurs and Cornwall’s finest musical talents (my favourite being the Cornish Wurzells rendition of ‘Combine Harvester’).  

The Oyster Fringe was a great success and it was lovely to see Falmouth once again bustling with laughter, merriness (even if some of it was purely down to Skinners Betty Stoggs) and  Storm troopers.
