Lobster & Crab Feast

We pay tribute to Clovelly's famous lobsters
and crabs with a day of live folk music, theatre including a lobster hypnotist,
local craft and food stalls, quay kitchen with demonstrations, wine tasting and
entertainment for the children too.
It's worth mentioning that Bideford Bay lobsters were once under threat until a 'no take zone' was set up around
Lundy
Island and just a few years on, there has been a threefold increase in the numbers of
landable lobsters.
It’s a Feast, which visitors say has a
particularly happy festive atmosphere.

Herring Festival
Sunday, 15 November 10 a.m.—4 p.m.
Clovelly
The Herring Festival is held to promote
sustainable, carefully managed fishing, which helps safeguard the livelihoods
of fishermen and supports the local economy through environmentally sound means.
Clovelly’s sweet herring was once its staple economy and so a well-justified
reason for celebrating the Silver
Darlings.
There’ll be herring dishes, local cider and
wine, maritime historian, Mike Smylie, with his Kipperland exhibition and
freshly-smoked kippers and bloaters, traditional shanty singers, walk-about
theatre and lots of stalls.
