A word from Nick Brodie Event Organiser and the Rotary Club of Salcombe

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Crabfest the best one yet!

We’re incredibly grateful to South Hams District Council for allowing us to use their car parks, and to Tally Ho! for providing our park and ride buses. A heartfelt thanks goes to our amazing main sponsors — Devon Rum Co., Coast & Country Cottages, Twisted, Rockfish, and Marchand Petit — as well as to Toad Hall Cottages for sponsoring the music and providing accommodation, alongside the Harbour Hotel Salcombe, the Harbour Beach Club, Salcombe Abode, and Soar Mill Cove Hotel.

A big thank you to all the talented chefs who gave fantastic demos, to Tom Bunn for expertly running the demo kitchen, Ben Sinnott from Polaris for providing the sound, and Chris Puncher for generously donating the crab. Thank you also to the brilliant musicians who filled the day with live music, and to our talented photographers, Martyn Norsworthy and Sara Hayward, for capturing every moment.

And of course, this event wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our wonderful exhibitors and visitors. Thank you — we couldn’t have done it without you!

Here’s to Crabfest 2026! (Sunday May 3rd)
