Beach Events
Newquay is surrounded by twelve beautiful beaches, hence boasting some of the best and most impressive settings for events that you have ever laid your eyes on. Known as the surfing capital of England, it comes as no surprise that many of the surf events and adrenaline water sports championships, such as Boardmasters, English National Surfing Championships, Thundercat World Series and the Jet Ski Rider World championships are all held in Newquay.
Having the beaches as such a stunning back drop makes it easy to host amazing and memorable music events. I mean, just imagine having the sand between your toes, drink in hand, listening to live music, whilst the sun is setting in the back ground… Well here in Newquay we feel so lucky that this is a regular occurrence - especially throughout the summer!
Newquay Town Events
Although, not all of these events happen on the beach. There are many events that happen in and around the town centre, for instance the Newquay Carnival. Picture a week long of family events which usually takes place in July. Or New Years Eve celebrations where people dress up in fancy dress and meet at Central Square for the count down to begin. There's also Newquay’s famous Zombie Crawl where the children (and some adults too!) dress up in their favourite Halloween costumes and stop at various locations in the town for spooktacular fun.
One of Cornwall's Best Event Venues
Throughout the year Newquay also plays host to some of Cornwall’s largest events. From very popular festivals, such as the Newquay Fish Festival where many famous and local chefs show off their expertise in cooking demonstrations, to the big sporting events like Polo on the Beach or the Surf 7’s Rugby Tournament. With such a wide choice of events happening all year round we are confident that you will find something for all age groups and interests.
