Hedluv + Passman, Fisherman's Friends

The annual showpiece for Cornwall’s most beloved delicacy held annually at the Eden Project.

The acclaimed global competition – also known as the Olympics of the Oggy - returns to Eden for the fourth year running.

Pasty lovers from around the world are invited to put their finest creations up to be crowned best pasty in the world. The competition is the centrepiece of a day of pasty celebrations, featuring music and comedy headlined by Cornwall’s own international superstars The Fisherman’s Friends.

The World Pasty Championships are now a firm fixture on the festival calendar, being staged each year on the Saturday before before St Piran’s Day. The competition sees amateur and professional bakers from far and near compete by baking traditional Cornish pasties or variations on the classic beef, onion, potato and turnip recipe.

Competition categories are split between those who would like to make a traditional Cornish pasty, which abides by strict guidelines and is made in Cornwall, and those who want to make any other type of savoury pasty.
