The full story
Read straight through, or use the story notes above to settle into the place, memory and detail.
Find current Cornish festival and regatta listings, then verify dates and tickets with the organiser. The old event timetable has been removed so historic dates are not mistaken for upcoming events.
Use a current event listing
Cornwall's festivals range from harbour regattas and community celebrations to food and music events. Start with Visit Cornwall's current What's On listings, choose your travel dates and follow the event organiser's own booking or information page.
Why the old timetable has changed
The previous page reproduced a past-year calendar, including unconfirmed and cancelled events. Those dates have been removed. Annual events can move, pause or change venue; we do not automatically roll an old date forward by a year.
Check before booking accommodation
Confirm the event year, venue, start and finish times, ticket requirements and cancellation policy with the organiser. Check whether a listing describes the main event or a smaller associated activity. A general festival listing is not a guarantee of admission or availability.
Planning a harbour or regatta visit
Check local access, parking and public-transport notices for the event day. Roads and working quays may have temporary restrictions. Keep children away from unprotected edges, follow stewards' instructions and leave working areas clear.
Food, accessibility and family needs
Ask the organiser about access, toilets, seating, dogs, children's activities and any dietary needs that affect your visit. Confirm the arrangements for that particular event rather than assuming they are the same as last year.
Check again before travelling
Weather and operational changes can affect outdoor events at short notice. Use the organiser's latest notice or booking confirmation as your final check. To report an outdated link in this guide, use our current contact page.
Common questions
- Where can I find current festival dates?
- Start with Visit Cornwall's current event listings, then confirm the year, venue and dates on the organiser's own website.
- Are old annual dates reliable for next year?
- No. Do not assume an event repeats on the same dates or is still operating. Check the current organiser announcement.
