Newquay Harbour Festival

The Boathouse Newquay is teaming up with Newquay BID, Cornwall Shop Small, and Newquay Farmers Market for the Newquay Harbour Festival taking place on Saturday the 7th of September. This festival isn't just about entertainment; it's a celebration of community spirit and local enterprise showcasing the best that Newquay has to offer.

The Boathouse is incredibly proud to be part of such a great community event. The Newquay Harbour Festival is all about coming together to enjoy the unique charm of the harbour and celebrate the local talent and produce that make the town special. It's set to be a fun-filled day out that the whole family can enjoy.

Over at The Boathouse, there will be an exciting line-up of events throughout the day and into the evening. The day starts with a Harbour Rockpool Ramble with Mr FT and a beach clean sponsored by Sharp's Brewery. The marquee will feature cooking demonstrations by talented Cornish chefs, showcasing locally sourced seafood. As evening falls, there'll be interactive gin-flavouring sessions and a wine tasting experience. If that's not enough, enjoy live music throughout the day, including plenty of shanties from The Clams, Newquay Rowing Club Singers, and the newly formed Harbour Rats Shanty Band.

As the evening sets in, unwind with the smooth sounds of a jazz trio while enjoying delicious street food and maybe even a cocktail or two. Whether you're a foodie, a music lover, or simply looking for a great day out with the family, the Newquay Harbour Festival is not to be missed. Join us in Newquay Harbour and throughout the town on Saturday, 7th September, from 10 am to 9 pm for a celebration of all things Newquay.

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The journey that begins with "will you marry me" and ends with "I do" transforms a couple's lives in multiple ways, but it also involves a huge number of decisions, as planning a wedding is no mean feat. Every guest will have an opinion on what a wedding should be like: from what's classy and tacky, to which traditions should be followed and which can be discarded. To help prospective couples get a grip on what these potential guests hope to see in a wedding, YouGov's new Big Survey on Weddings examines all these key debates about what should and shouldn't feature on the big day, including looking at the decisions that brides and grooms would make themselves. The study is part a Big Surveys project: a series of in-depth surveys on British society. It was conducted between 7-9 August 2026, with a sample of 1,784 adults in the UK aged 18 and above.
