Cornwall’s 2025 Bucket List

Indulge in an exquisite six-course tasting menu at The Greenbank in Falmouth. Taking place throughout the year, Head Chef Bobby will be curating a collection of dishes that encapsulates the true taste of Cornwall. Bobby will take you on a journey that highlights tradition, new cooking techniques, flavour fusions, and most importantly, champions local produce. For passionate foodies, this is not one to miss.

Follow The Greenbank on Facebook and Instagram to be the first to know when new dates are announced.
Upcoming dates are 27th February (SOLD OUT) and 27th March.

A treat for the eyes and the ears, head to Collegiate Church of St Endellion in North Cornwall over the Easter period for inspiring musical arrangements. From chamber concerts, to an orchestra of instruments, the setting of the ancient church is made even more breathtaking when filled with the melodic sounds of talented musicians. 

Founded in 1958, this tradition is over 60 years old, and plays an important part in the community of the hamlet just outside Port Isaac. Booking opens 15th March for the general public.

One of the hotly anticipated events in Cornwall in 2025 is the annual International Sea Shanty Festival. During this weekend in June, the seaside town of Falmouth comes alive with the familiar sound of shanties, performed at a variety of local pubs, restaurants, and venues.

Be sure to visit The Working Boat, perched right on the harbour, for their line-up of events throughout the weekend.

Rock Oyster Festival is a hybrid between a food and a music festival. Attracting some well-known names in music, Ministry of Sound Classical, Rag’N’Bone Man, and UB40, are amongst some of the talented singers and performers.

For the foodies in the crowd, plenty of cooking demonstrations and appearances from Michelin-starred chefs will happen across the weekend.

Every year, Boardmasters gets bigger and better. With surfing at its roots, the festival is appropriately held on the cliffs of Watergate Bay, overlooking the beach and waves. Why not book a surf lesson on Fistral beach?

This year’s line up has some incredible names, with Raye and The Prodigy announced as headliners, with more names to follow soon!

The postcard worthy views and picturesque coastal scenery in St Ives makes it a total hotspot for visitors, particularly in the summer holidays. One September in 1977, when the crowds dispersed, and the weather cooled, a few locals came together to share art and music, and September Festival was born.

Now attracting new visitors well into the autumn, it’s a celebration of the arts, from music, painting, pottery, and photography, to poetry and literature, there’s something for everyone.

Expect a magical calendar of events to mark the most wonderful time of the year. Throughout December, gather your friends, family, or colleagues for a Christmas party night or dig into a trove of yuletide treats with their famous festive afternoon tea.

Pull up a pew in The Great Hall to watch the hilarious seasonal comedy ‘Christmas.Time’ by Near-ta Theatre.
