The St Ives Food & Drink Festival is set to return to Porthminster Beach .

The festival is free during the day but you will need tickets if you wish to join the live music evening sessions.

One of our favourite weekends of the year.

The Minack Theatre is an open-air theatre carved into the granite cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, providing a stunning backdrop for performances. The theatre was created by Rowena Cade in the 1930s and has since become a popular venue for plays, musicals, and concerts.

Advance booking is recommended to guarantee admission for both the theatre and garden visits.

The gallery showcases a diverse range of artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and installations by both British and international artists, as well as hosting temporary exhibitions and events. The gallery's location overlooking the picturesque Porthmeor Beach adds to its appeal as a destination for art lovers (plus there’s a rooftop café with great views which you can visit without a ticket).
