Clovelly Herring Festival, Sunday 21 November
In the 18th century, a hundred boats fished for the 'silver darlings' (herring) out of Clovelly. This Herring Festival is held in support of sustainable fishing by traditional methods and to celebrate the herring.
Mike Smylie will be there with his popular 'Kipperland' exhibition, smoking delicious kippers and bloaters. Simon and Ann Cooper will be bringing along their curragh, making nets, and demonstrating flax processing and knitting. In addition, Jim MacCool, founder of National Poetry Month, will be performing his show of infectious verse and toe-tapping Celtic rhythms. Enjoy herring specialities, local cider and wine, shanty singing, a walk-about theatre and masses of stalls.
