This year’s event will feature the Oggy Oscars ceremony, a Crimp Off challenge, as well as live music and comedy. The championships will be the finale of Cornish Pasty Week, which starts on Sunday 24th February.

The championships will see both professional and amateur competitors, from across the world, hoping to be crowned this year’s winner.
