Peterhead Port Authority is to be the headline sponsor of a newly created Fishing Village within the town’s seafood festival for the next two years.
Peterhead Seafood Festival is looking to build on last year’s inaugural event, which attracted 4,000 visitors, with new attractions, cooking demonstrations, a pop-up restaurant, children’s entertainment and the new Fishing Village.
John Pascoe, Chairman of Rediscover Peterhead which is organising the festival, said: “We are proud to announce that Peterhead Port Authority is to be sponsoring the Fishing Village at the festival for this year and again in 2020."
Simon Brebner, chief executive of Peterhead Port Authority, said: "The Board is delighted to be supporting this excellent initiative in the town over the next two years.
"Peterhead is renowned for great seafood and it is fitting that an annual celebration should be held, capitalising on all the good work done last year for the first event which went so well."
The Seafood Festival takes place on Saturday 14th September across the town centre in Peterhead between 10am and 4pm. For up-to-date information on the event, visit the festival’s Facebook page www.Facebook.com/PeterheadSeafoodFestival or https://www.rediscoverpeterhead.co.uk/psf2019
