Once called The Elephant Fair, the dreamy Port Eliot manor opens its doors to the best family festival this side of Wonkaville. Gavin Turk's House of Fairy Tales is a lawless treat and Caught By The River is also worth a nose.
Falmouth as been chosen to host the Armed Forces Day this year and what an event it promises to be with a Lancaster flypast accompanied by Spitfires, Royal Marine Band, search and rescue demonstration, military vehicles and a free ferry to two Naval ships which you will be able to board. A great day out for all the family!
A traditional celebration where a flower decorated boat, The Black Prince, is paraded shoulder high through the village by ratings from HMS Raleigh and accompanied by South West town criers, processional dancers and musicians. This tradition was revived over 25 years ago and takes place every Mayday.
One of the best steam rallies in Cornwall, held at Boconnoc Estate in July. But it's not just steam related, there are other vehicular displays as well as crafts, camping and vintage affairs.
A free festival held in July, packed full of seaside events and followed by an evening overture in a field.
Lots and lots of food-related festivities. Demonstrations, talks, stalls and most importantly food. Cornwall has some of the tastiest fare in the land.
An annual event taking place in June, this is a super singing festival, great atmosphere and all in aid of the RNLI.
This event celebrates the start of the oyster dredging season and the diversity and quality of Cornish seafood. There are cookery demonstrations, sea shanties, a town parade, live music, boat races and marquees brimming with local produce. Don't miss it!
A week of classic yacht racing in Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay plus handicap/fleet racing for keelboats, traditional craft and dinghies. Entertainment takes place on shore and see their Website for full listings.
