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.

Boxing Day Barbecue should make the perfect follow-up to Christmas day for all your family and friends. With FREE entrance to Clovelly village all day, take a walk along the estate or explore the village in the morning. Then come on down to the quay to enjoy a lunch barbecue starting at midday with live music running from 1pm to 3 pm. The Red Lion serves some great mulled cider and delicious, hot chocolate drinks. There will be a Land Rover available to take you back up if you do not wish to walk.

The Red Lion are hosting a New Year’s Eve Party to kick-start 2027 with a bang. Expect fireworks, music, fancy dress and a murder mystery – this year the theme is Wild West! It’s a magical way to welcome in the New Year by the sea. This New Year’s Eve Party will be taking place for both resident and non-resident guests.
