What’s On

Happening on weekend’s in November, the events are spread across various locations throughout the town centre, offering a range of price options from free to affordable or discounted tickets.  

 We’ve crafted a diverse programme in collaboration with some fantastic local organisations, each offering a unique array of activities on dedicated weekends. Every weekend, a different organisation will take the spotlight with the weekend highlights, supported by a variety of activities and events from other local businesses. This approach ensures a rich and varied programme that truly reflects the unique identity of Newquay.
