Herring Festival

Clovelly Herring Festival always falls in November, so it’s the time of year when our historic village celebrates the coming of the great “Silver Darlings”, better known as Herring. We celebrate and promote this tasty, nutritious fish whilst supporting sustainable fishing. Herring, an oily fish, whether fresh or smoked, is an excellent source of some great health benefits, such as low mercury and high protein content. Herring contains many key nutrients, such as Omega-3 fatty acids (apparently giving good effects on brain, eyes, heart and muscle function) and other nutritional benefits with so many vitamins, including Selenium, etc. The Maritime historian and writer, Mike Smylie, attends with his “Kipperland” exhibition, which is devoted to the history of all things herring. Mike also turns the herring into delicate-tasting kippers and bloaters in his smokehouse for sale. On the quay, there will be a variety of delicious herring specialities along with natural fibre, local food and craft stalls. Throughout the day there will be live music, free kids face-painting, and children’s activities. Music and Entertainment To be announced! Stallholders Flaxland – exhibitions and demonstrations – an opportunity to discover how the flax plant is used to make a vast range of goods. They will also be running their net-making competition! More to be announced!
