The Fisherman's Friends

Make the most of Movie Monday with this Cornish family favourite…

This tale tells the story of a cynical Londoner in the music industry who hears a group of Cornish fishermen singing while out on a stag weekend. He hears their deep voices and truly believes they could make it to the top of the charts. The hard part is convincing them that they can, too! This heart-warming comedy is based on the true story of one of our favourite shanty groups from Port Isaac, Fisherman’s Friends. You can purchase your ticket, here.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny

Join Peter and Benjamin on a hare-raising adventure…

This enchanting adaptation of the much loved Beatrix Potter classic makes for a wonderful evening out with the family. Transport back to the magical world of Peter Rabbit and McGregor’s garden as Quantum Theatre perform this magical story on stage at Coronation Park. Just remember to bring your own chair, blanket or cushion to cosy up with for this event, as there isn’t reserved seating. Book tickets, here.

Polperro Fisherman's Choir

Get your lungs at the ready for this free concert in Looe…

Polperro Fishermen’s Choir are delighted to be back singing again after over a year’s absence due to the pandemic. This popular male voice choir primarily formed in 1923, providing the very best in traditionally Cornish and modern choral music. This will be their 98th year performing and we can’t wait for this fantastic event. It’s a free event but as the RNLI are a charity close to our hearts, we’d recommend tossing some money into their buckets!
