Falmouth Oyster Festival

Church Street, Falmouth from 13 – 16 October 2022

Celebrating the start of Oyster season, this is one of Cornwall’s biggest and best love food festivals. Shuck and sample the native Fal Oyster, watch cookery demos (or even join them on stage) or just kick back and relax in the bustling atmosphere with bands taking to the stage well into the evenings.

Hall for Cornwall

Book tickets for an event at The Hall for Cornwall, Truro, Cornwall’s famous playhouse. The much-loved playhouse and live music venue hosts a variety of music and theatrical events throughout autumn and winter, and is a great option for a rainy evening. Spend the afternoon browsing Truro’s farmer’s market for local produce before your booked event. 

October and November events include Gary Barlow’s solo show A Different Stage, Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ Living Dangerously, a theatre performance of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Fisherman’s Friends live.

Browse what’s on throughout October and November and book your tickets online via The Hall for Cornwall.

Bonfire Night displays

There’s nowhere better to watch fireworks than in the dark skies of Cornwall, unpolluted by city lights, meaning the kaleidoscopic colours truly glow. Head to Heartlands for the county’s largest bonfire show, which is free to attend and includes live music, a family friendly fairground, a selection of food and drink and a spectacular firework show.
