Newquay Harbour Festival returns for its third year on Saturday the 7th of September

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.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
