Fistral Beach is where the action sports take place, including ASP World Tour Surfing. Further along the coast Watergate Bay plays host to the festival. These events are certainly for the young or young at heart, take a look at their Web site for further details and to buy tickets.
Many a village has a reading room, but here, words attain greatness. Flop out on the dunes at St Enodoc church where the Poet Laureate rests in peace and listen to his poetry read out loud. The pop of a cork beats the crack of a beer can, so best take wine.
Evil giant eats children and is none too pleasant to Mrs Bolster making her carry boulders on her back day and night. He ditches the wife for younger prettier model, Agnes. In an act of love, he sheds his blood, which runs out to sea, saps his soul and so he dies. Still, the lantern workshops, pageant, procession and barbecue should cheer you up.
Pamplona bull running meets Tellytubbies. The blue 'oss and red 'oss are released from their stables and teased around a maypole to the tune of a hypnotic folk song. The town dress in white and the streets go flag crazy on May Day.
A must for all beer lovers and organised by CAMRA Kernow. Sample more than fifty beers, ciders and perries, plus refreshments (including Grumpies Pies!)
Back in 2004 the little fishing of Boscatle was hit by a terrible flood. It pulled through and out of adversity has come a renewed spirit of community. The Food and Arts Festival was born out of this zest for life, giving the event a real zing. Plus, it's home turf for some big-hitters on the north coast's culinery scene. Expect cookery demonstrations from Michelin-starred chefs.
If you've been to Boscastle you'll know why this walking festival just keeps on growing. Its coastline and inland woodland walks have got the wow factor by the bucketload. Tag along on a guided ramble, visit waterfalls, schlep up cliffs. Or just meander along the country lanes and paths - if you get accused of slacking, use Thomas Hardy as your defence. He wrote some of the best verse in the English language mooching along Boscastle's by-ways. The event is held during March/April time, check their website for further information.
This small, friendly folk festival takes place the beginning of June. Local folk entertainers mingle with performers from further afield offering a great mix of singers, dancers and musicians.
A great traditional Carnival Day with lots to see and do including children's fancy dress, crowning the Bude Fairy Queen, dance display and carnival procession.
Calling all Jazz lovers! Four fabulous days of Jazz plus a street parade, charity concert and jazz picnic. Tickets are available from their Website.
