Rock Oyster Festival is back for 2022

Rock Oyster and Jack Stein are teaming up to curate a food line-up unlike any other for the Cornish festival in 2022. The festival has also announced its music headliners with Happy Mondays, Laura Mvula, Passenger, Huey Morgan, Jade Bird and Rae Morris topping the bill next July (29th to 31st).  

Rock Oyster is hosted by a different chef each year and Jack - who is chef director across the Rick Stein restaurant group - is gathering his foodie friends to come and cook up a storm at the festival next July. Expect to see famous restaurants popping up in the Chefs Tipis, demos and masterclasses from some of the UK’s most talented chefs and long-table feasts by the Camel Estuary. 

Next year’s music line-up is off to a stellar start too with Laura Mvula and Jade Bird on Friday, Happy Mondays and Huey Morgan on Saturday and Passenger and Rae Morris on Sunday. 

And this is just the tip of the iceberg according to the team at Rock Oyster who are planning for another big announcement in the new year: “This is really just a taste of things to come,” said festival director Lee Bater. “We are incredibly excited to be collaborating with Jack and the team at Steins. The Stein name is synonymous with the best food in Cornwall and we know Jack will bring so much to Rock Oyster.

“I couldn’t be more chuffed to be teaming up with Rock Oyster Festival,” said Jack Stein. “Together we’ll bring you chef demos, masterclasses and restaurant tipis with produce from local suppliers at the heart of the action - including plenty of freshly shucked oysters, of course.”

And Rock Oyster has a packed programme of events still to announce in the new year including the festival’s full music and chef line-ups, an amazing array of outdoors and wellbeing activities and the family programme. 

“Early Bird ticket sales are 300% up on 2021,” said Lee Bater. “And after a sell out festival last summer we know it’s going to be a big year for Rock Oyster. You can secure your ticket for a deposit of £25 and pay the rest later, so don’t hang around”
