The organisers of Falmouth Oyster Festival are extremely pleased to announce St Michael's Hotel & Spa is to continue to be the major sponsor for the festival for a second year.

The collaboration with St Michael's Hotel & Spa worked extremely well last year, when some exciting new events were hosted at the hotel. Organisers will be working together with the St Michael's events team to ensure that this years festival offers an equally exciting programme.
St Michael's has been a partner in the festival for a number of years, contributing to its development with their head chef regularly featuring in the cookery demonstration programme, which forms an integral part of the festival menu.
 
St Michael's Hotel & Spa will run the Oyster & Seafood Bar in the main festival marquee. The talented team of Chefs from the hotel will be highlighting their culinary creativity and expertise by offering a range of seafood dishes throughout the festival using ingredients sourced from local producers and fishermen.
 
St Michael’s will also be hosting an Oyster Festival Gourmet night on Thursday 14th with festival celebrity chef Valentine Warner and a sea shanty lunch on Sunday 17th October. St Michael's Hotel will also be hosting the Oyster Ball on Friday 22nd October the week after the festival, following its successful reintroduction last year. All of these events can be booked as part of an exclusive Oyster Festival Break.
 
Nigel Carpenter, Proprietor of St Michael's Hotel & Spa, confirmed, ''We are very excited to play a more significant role in the development of this important festival, and we shall be working hard to build on the past success and make the Falmouth Oyster Festival one of the top food/ gourmet festivals in the South West. It is the last place on earth where wild oysters are still dredged under sail and it is important that this traditional method of harvesting continues to be appreciated and prospers in the future''
 
St Michael's Hotel & Spa boasts a superb location on the seafront in Falmouth, with stunning sea views, first class cuisine with a fine reputation for its Flying Fish Restaurant and a relaxed atmosphere. The hotel offers a contemporary oasis for guests to relax, unwind and indulge. After a £3.5 million refurbishment by owners, Nigel and Julie Carpenter, the hotel has won many awards and is generally regarded as one of the finest hotels in the South West.
