Festivals

Newquay has an exciting festival events calendar and is known to host some of Cornwall’s biggest events!

Newquay is a great place to host an event and has many festivals happening throughout the year such as the famous Boardmasters Festival in August which brings thousands of people to see world class headliner acts like Snoop Dogg down to the South West to watch them perform on one of Newquay’s finest event venues overlooking Watergate Bay Beach.

Another great festival which takes place in Newquay yearly would be the Newquay Fish Festival. Every September the Newquay Harbour will come 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.

One of our favourites and to get you into the Christmas spirit Newquay holds a Festive Festival were you can enjoy a whole weekend of festive loveliness from the Christmas light switch on with the children’s lantern parade, late night shopping, the Music and Ale festival and Christmassy activities throughout the weekend to keep all the family happy.

Newquay can become busy when there is a festival on and accommodation can get booked up in advance quite quickly to avoid disappointment book your accommodation in advance here and securely book through the Visit Newquay website.
