Cornwall Events 2026 & 2027

Cornwall's calendar is one of the richest in Britain. Ancient customs such as Padstow's 'Obby 'Oss on May Day, Helston's Flora Day and hurling the silver ball at St Ives still draw crowds every year, while summer brings Boardmasters to Newquay, world-class sailing at Falmouth Week and the Fowey Royal Regatta, and the British Firework Championships over Plymouth Sound.

This guide lists 24 events still to come in the rest of 2026, from Bonfire Night and the Christmas lights to New Year's Eve in St Ives, followed by 92 of the best events across Cornwall and Plymouth in 2027, in date order for each month. For every event you will find the date and times, the location, a short description, what it costs, where to park and what to expect for disabled access. Literary festivals at Fowey, Penzance and Falmouth, food festivals from Porthleven to Truro, sea shanty weekends, agricultural shows and the midwinter festivals of Montol and Tom Bawcock's Eve are all included.

Many organisers do not announce next year's dates until their current event is over, so each listing is labelled to show whether the 2027 date is confirmed or still to be announced. Always check the official website before you travel – and if you are planning a stay, each event links to holiday accommodation nearby, booked direct with the owners.
