Just a short stroll to our Great Hall!
Help raise money for an incredibly important cause. The Fishermen’s Mission will be joining us to co-host a celebratory evening of Cornish food and drink that will both highlight the important work they do and raise funds to help them continue to deliver their mission across our county.
In a true celebration of all our coastal region has to offer, some of Cornwall’s top chefs will be taking over The Alverton’s kitchen for the evening to highlight the very best seafood, grass-fed meats and harvest available across The Duchy, including St. Enodoc’s Guy Owen, Kota’s Jude Kereama, The Rick Stein Group’s Stephane Delourme and our very own Nick Hodges and Darryl Collins.
A very special charity auction will also be taking place throughout the evening with some incredible prizes including a signed rugby shirt by the British and Irish Lions Squad, a signed racing helmet from Olympian Sir Ben Ainsley, an original oil painting by local artist Alice Hole, a stay and dining experience at The Greenbank and Alverton hotels and much more.
