The late May Bank Holiday 2016 runs from Saturday 28 May to Monday 30 May – and there’s a lot of activity in and around Newquay that weekend, although as it is Half Term week for many schools, organisations have spread their efforts across the week.
Keep an eye out for local boards and adverts as a lot of events are just advertised locally on posters, being hard to track down – and often not being advertised until the last minute!
Blue Reef Aquarium, on Towan Beach, will be open and Newquay Zoo is open every day over the bank holiday weekend.
Newquay Cinema will be open, running films across the multiplex cinema at all times of the day and evening.
Then there are the usual local tourist attractions, or those old favourites of playing pitch & putt before having an ice-cream!
Check out the National Trust property closest to Newquay – Trerice Manor which is open daily for house tours, the gardens and a tea room.
If you want to go walking, or exploring, even foraging for wild food, then check out:
The guy who was tasked with booking the good weather’s emailed me to say it’s arriving!
