Festivals
Newquay has an exciting festival events calendar and is known to host some of Cornwall’s biggest events!
Boardmasters Festival
Newquay is the perfect venue to host an event and is a popular place for festivals to be held throughout the year. Perhaps the most famous is Boardmasters Festival, which brings thousands of people to the South West in August to watch world-class headline acts perform (like Snoop Dogg and Ed Sheeran!) at one of Newquay’s finest event settings - overlooking the stunning Watergate Bay Beach.
Newquay Fish Festival
Another fun-filled festival which takes place annually in Newquay is the Newquay Fish Festival. Every September the Newquay Harbour comes alive with cookery demonstrations from head chefs, live music performances and an array of stalls and eateries that line the harbour wall cooking up a delicious treat for you to try!
Newquay Festive Festival
One of our favourites, and one to get you into the Christmas spirit, is the Newquay Festive Festival. Here you can enjoy a whole weekend of festive loveliness - from the Christmas light switch on and children’s lantern parade, to late night shopping, the Music and Ale festival and many more Christmassy activities throughout the weekend to keep all the family happy.
Festival Accomodation
Newquay can get super busy when there is a festival on and accommodation is often booked up in advance quite quickly. To avoid disappointment book your accommodation in advance here and securely book through the Visit Newquay website.
