Newquay Beer Festival - Hendra Holiday Park
What if we told you that sinking a few of your favourite Cornish brews could be your good deed for the week? Newquay Beer Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary as a charity event, fundraising for important causes in Newquay, and across Cornwall. Having raised a staggering £80,000 over the last ten years, the event will be returning this September, pouring plenty of fantastic ales and lagers, alongside live music and delicious food.
Femmes De La Mer - The Minack Theatre
Ascend the stoney steps carved into the cliffs overlooking the white sands of Porthcurno, and you’ll stumble upon one of the world’s most unique open air amphitheatres. Whilst we’d recommend visiting anytime of the year just for the views alone, choosing to see a performance here is something that should be on everyone’s Cornish bucket list in our opinion!
If you’re a fan of sea shanties, we can’t think of a more spectacular location to listen to the melodies of the ocean. Following a successful sold-out tour supporting singer-songwriter Ben Howard, female shanty band Femme De La Mer will be returning to their Cornish roots and treating the west coast to a bold performance of shanties from their new album, Today’s Haul. Mesmerising and steeped in tradition, tickets are selling fast.
