Things To Do In Cornwall In May 2025

Del Boy, Rodney, and Grandad are swapping Peckham for the Cornish stage this May in this laugh-out-loud musical comedy. Head to the Hall for Cornwall for an evening of nostalgia and naughtiness as the much-loved characters from Only Fools and Horses burst into song in a witty and heartwarming theatrical adaptation. Packed with classic catchphrases, toe-tapping tunes, and a healthy dose of good old British humour, it’s the perfect night out in Truro.

Creativity is the heart of Cornwall, and nowhere is that more evident than at this relaxed and welcoming get-together for local makers, artists, and creatives. Held at the charming Fig Café in Truro, the Makers Cornwall event is a lovely opportunity to connect with fellow artisans, spark new ideas, and share stories over a good cup of coffee. Whether you’re a maker yourself or simply love handmade design, it’s an inspiring morning not to be missed.

Folk lovers are in for a treat as the angelic voice of Kate Rusby graces the stage at Hall for Cornwall. One of the UK’s most beloved folk singer-songwriters, Kate brings warmth, wit, and wonder to every performance. Her enchanting vocals and heartfelt lyrics have earned her a devoted following, and this intimate concert promises to be a magical evening filled with storytelling, soul-stirring melodies, and musical charm.

Take a peek behind the studio doors of Cornwall’s thriving arts scene during Open Studios Cornwall. Over 200 painters, potters, sculptors, and printmakers invite you into their creative sanctuaries throughout the month of May. It’s a rare opportunity to see artists at work, chat about their processes, and perhaps take home a piece of original Cornish creativity. A perfect pairing for an Alverton stay, especially for those who love to discover the region through its makers.
