Clovelly Herring Festival takes place on 21st November this year. It’s the time of year when the historic village celebrates the coming of the great “Silver Darlings”, better known as Herring. Clovelly celebrates and promote this tasty, nutritious fish whilst supporting sustainable fishing. The village always depended on the harvest of herring, caught in superb condition for a short season off this coast. On the quay, kitchens will be serving a variety of delicious herring specialities along with beer, gin and cider tastings, local food and craft stalls. And throughout the day there will be live music, street entertainers, face-painting, art workshop, an exhibition of Clovelly herring fishing, tasters & recipes, and children’s activities.
