Looe Food and Drink Festival is back again for 2024.

The event is scheduled for Sunday, September 15. The event features an array of culinary talent, both local and from further afield.

Ben Palmer, festival chef director and banquet winner of this year’s Great British Menu Starter Course, explains “To be honest I am as overwhelmed and excited as everyone else about this stellar line up – its absolutely epic! I’m not really sure how I have pulled it off, but having all of these guys come and take part in something so special for Looe, is pretty emotional for me. 

Each one of them is an absolute legend in their own right, most have bossed TV shows like Great British Menu or Masterchef or have smashed it in the kitchen for decades working alongside names like Rick Stein. I am buzzing to see them all demo on the day and am so proud to be helping create this opportunity for Looe.”

The club’s monthly group hike is scheduled for Saturday, September 7. Everyone is welcome to come along.

A club spokesperson added: “I have hiked the route last week (it’s nice) but a couple of the farm gates have been welded shut (due to them falling down) so if you're not mobile enough to climb over a chest height metal gate I wouldn't recommend joining us this time. There are also multiple stiles to navigate. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday. Lets hope the sun is shining and don't forget to bring some water with you.”

With summer sports coming to a close as we approach the cooler months, Tamar Trotters Running Club is launching its ‘couch to 5k’ programme, inviting residents of all running abilities to give it a go.

Launching on Friday, September 6, this 10-week walk and run programme is a friendly, gentle-paced way to start your running journey or return to running.

What are the benefits to taking part in this course? Members get to meet like minded people who all just want to run! There is no pressure as everyone is new to the activity.

A club spokesperson explained: “We have friendly, qualified coaches available for support, advice and tuition. You will be given time to develop stamina and strength and to find out what pace suits you. There will be the opportunity to run with us on other training nights if you wish to take the sport further – but within your own timescales and when you feel you are ready.

“The course sessions take place on Friday evenings, meeting at 6pm at Saltash Rugby Club to start running at 6.15pm. We will run in small groups and each session will last around 30-45 minutes.”
