St Endellion Festival - Port Isaac

St Endellion Festival

The St Endellion Music Festivals take place at Easter and in the Summer every year, bringing together a wide range of musicians from all over the world to perform opera, choral, orchestral, chamber and recital concerts in the inspiring and intimate atmosphere of the Collegiate Church of St Endellion, North Cornwall and surrounds. St Endellion is near Port Isaac, about a mile from the glorious North Cornwall Coast.

Each year a community forms out of the shared desire to experience music for the sheer joy of it. What makes the Festivals special is that at the heart of everything is an immense spirit of generosity. The aim is to create the best Festival possible on the smallest possible budget – therefore the musicians and singers, the stage managers and administrators, the cooks and washers-up all give their services for free. The chorus and orchestra all contribute to the cost of accommodation and the balance is raised from the box office and the Festival Friends scheme. Ticket prices are kept as low as possible and the aim is to break even, with any surplus being put towards future festivals. Somehow the freedom from commercial constraints and from the pursuit of success enables every performer to rediscover why music is so important – it forms bonds, it connects people, it speaks as Beethoven desired “from the heart to the heart”. Rather than sharing an expensive bottle of wine in a posh restaurant, St Endellion is like finding a fresh mountain spring on a warm summer’s day and taking great gulps of the most delicious drink imaginable.

The St Endellion Summer Festival was founded in 1958, when a musical priest, Roger Gaunt, was inspired to invite a group of college friends down to help him renovate St Endellion’s derelict rectory. Slowly the festival grew and evolved from a group of friends putting on small-scale concerts and an annual play to include an orchestra and a chorus. And from the ranks of its enthusiastic participants emerged a young Cambridge graduate and organist - Richard Hickox - who became Artistic Director in the mid Seventies, when he also instituted a sister festival at Easter. Under Richard’s baton the festival developed and its reputation grew, and he remained at the helm until his premature death in 2008.

The Summer Festival has entered a new chapter and goes from strength to strength under the leadership of Artistic Director Mark Padmore, whilst still remaining true to the foundations laid by Richard. Concert performances of opera have become a popular tradition; Endellion operas include The Rake’s Progress, The Magic Flute, Ariadne auf Naxos, Gloriana, Tannhaüser, Die Walküre, Peter Grimes, Carmen, La bohème, Gloriana and Boris Godunov, with Sir John Tomlinson in the title role.

The Easter Festival has grown no less and was chaired from its inception until 2016 by its co-founder Fran Hickox, who latterly was also Festival Director. With a slightly shorter rehearsal period, and taking place at a very different time of year, it has a different kind of focus and concentrates more on smaller-scale orchestral works – although larger-scale works also feature on a regular basis. Always falling in Holy Week or the week following Easter, the programming reflects this special time of year, and the Festival is renowned for its performances of the Bach Passions - whose intensity in the church’s intimate setting can match anything experienced on the summer festival’s opera nights.

The St Endellion Summer Festival was founded in 1958, when a musical priest, Roger Gaunt, was inspired to invite a group of college friends down to help him renovate St Endellion’s derelict rectory. Slowly the festival grew and evolved from a group of friends putting on small-scale concerts and an annual play to include an orchestra and a chorus. And from the ranks of its enthusiastic participants emerged a young Cambridge graduate and organist - Richard Hickox - who became Artistic Director in the mid Seventies, when he also instituted a sister festival at Easter. Under Richard’s baton the festival developed and its reputation grew, and he remained at the helm until his premature death in 2008.

The Summer Festival has entered a new chapter and goes from strength to strength under the leadership of Artistic Director Mark Padmore, whilst still remaining true to the foundations laid by Richard. Concert performances of opera have become a popular tradition; Endellion operas include The Rake’s Progress, The Magic Flute, Ariadne auf Naxos, Gloriana, Tannhaüser, Die Walküre, Peter Grimes, Carmen, La bohème, Gloriana and Boris Godunov, with Sir John Tomlinson in the title role.

The Easter Festival has grown no less and was chaired from its inception until 2016 by its co-founder Fran Hickox, who latterly was also Festival Director. With a slightly shorter rehearsal period, and taking place at a very different time of year, it has a different kind of focus and concentrates more on smaller-scale orchestral works – although larger-scale works also feature on a regular basis. Always falling in Holy Week or the week following Easter, the programming reflects this special time of year, and the Festival is renowned for its performances of the Bach Passions - whose intensity in the church’s intimate setting can match anything experienced on the summer festival’s opera nights.

St Endellion Festival - Port Isaac

St Endellion Festival

The St Endellion Music Festivals take place at Easter and in the Summer every year, bringing together a wide range of musicians from all over the world to perform opera, choral, orchestral, chamber and recital concerts in the inspiring and intimate atmosphere of the Collegiate Church of St Endellion, North Cornwall and surrounds. St Endellion is near Port Isaac, about a mile from the glorious North Cornwall Coast.

Each year a community forms out of the shared desire to experience music for the sheer joy of it. What makes the Festivals special is that at the heart of everything is an immense spirit of generosity. The aim is to create the best Festival possible on the smallest possible budget – therefore the musicians and singers, the stage managers and administrators, the cooks and washers-up all give their services for free. The chorus and orchestra all contribute to the cost of accommodation and the balance is raised from the box office and the Festival Friends scheme. Ticket prices are kept as low as possible and the aim is to break even, with any surplus being put towards future festivals. Somehow the freedom from commercial constraints and from the pursuit of success enables every performer to rediscover why music is so important – it forms bonds, it connects people, it speaks as Beethoven desired “from the heart to the heart”. Rather than sharing an expensive bottle of wine in a posh restaurant, St Endellion is like finding a fresh mountain spring on a warm summer’s day and taking great gulps of the most delicious drink imaginable.

The St Endellion Summer Festival was founded in 1958, when a musical priest, Roger Gaunt, was inspired to invite a group of college friends down to help him renovate St Endellion’s derelict rectory. Slowly the festival grew and evolved from a group of friends putting on small-scale concerts and an annual play to include an orchestra and a chorus. And from the ranks of its enthusiastic participants emerged a young Cambridge graduate and organist - Richard Hickox - who became Artistic Director in the mid Seventies, when he also instituted a sister festival at Easter. Under Richard’s baton the festival developed and its reputation grew, and he remained at the helm until his premature death in 2008.

The Summer Festival has entered a new chapter and goes from strength to strength under the leadership of Artistic Director Mark Padmore, whilst still remaining true to the foundations laid by Richard. Concert performances of opera have become a popular tradition; Endellion operas include The Rake’s Progress, The Magic Flute, Ariadne auf Naxos, Gloriana, Tannhaüser, Die Walküre, Peter Grimes, Carmen, La bohème, Gloriana and Boris Godunov, with Sir John Tomlinson in the title role.

The Easter Festival has grown no less and was chaired from its inception until 2016 by its co-founder Fran Hickox, who latterly was also Festival Director. With a slightly shorter rehearsal period, and taking place at a very different time of year, it has a different kind of focus and concentrates more on smaller-scale orchestral works – although larger-scale works also feature on a regular basis. Always falling in Holy Week or the week following Easter, the programming reflects this special time of year, and the Festival is renowned for its performances of the Bach Passions - whose intensity in the church’s intimate setting can match anything experienced on the summer festival’s opera nights.

Carnival 2024 - St Agnes

St Agnes Carnival 2024

Welcome to St Agnes Carnival. Did you know, it will be our 60th year of the St Agnes Carnival revival. The procession’s tradition dates back many years, to the time when the village streets would have been lined with miners and fishermen, bal-maidens and fishwives. What makes St Agnes Carnival such fun? It’s about the local community spirit.

This year, the procession will begin at 5:00pm on Saturday 3rd August 2024 from the carnival field on Goonvrea Road, St Agnes and travel through Church Town, along Trevaunance Road, finishing at the St Agnes Sports Club,for the carnival prize giving, some live music, bar and food.

Winding through the village streets, you will see an enthusiastic and exciting procession of fancy dress, local bands and people of all ages having a great time! Clever floats, great ingenuity, even dance routines, all led by the famous Giant Bolster!

The St Agnes Carnival is the highlight of the year, not only for the people of St Agnes parish, but also for holiday-makers- many of whom even book their holidays to coincide with that magic first week in August! We cannot wait to bring even more fun after the success of our procession in 2024.

Join us for the procession beginning at the Carnival field on Goonvrea Road, St Agnes at 5:00pm on Saturday 3rd August 2024. We cannot wait to see you there!

Attend the Carnival
The procession begins at 5:00pm on Saturday 3rd August 2024.

The carnival starts at Goonvrea Road, travels towards Church Town and takes a left at the Bakery. It then continues along Trevaunance Road and reaches the St Agnes Rugby Club, where there will be the procession prize giving, live music and refreshments available for an ‘after-procession’ party. So please arrive early to get the best spot, have fun and BE SAFE!

During the procession, our volunteers and carnival entries will be carrying buckets for donations and they will also have QR codes available linked to our Go Fund Me page, so you can still support the event even if you have no cash.

St Endellion Festival - Port Isaac

St Endellion Festival

The St Endellion Music Festivals take place at Easter and in the Summer every year, bringing together a wide range of musicians from all over the world to perform opera, choral, orchestral, chamber and recital concerts in the inspiring and intimate atmosphere of the Collegiate Church of St Endellion, North Cornwall and surrounds. St Endellion is near Port Isaac, about a mile from the glorious North Cornwall Coast.

Each year a community forms out of the shared desire to experience music for the sheer joy of it. What makes the Festivals special is that at the heart of everything is an immense spirit of generosity. The aim is to create the best Festival possible on the smallest possible budget – therefore the musicians and singers, the stage managers and administrators, the cooks and washers-up all give their services for free. The chorus and orchestra all contribute to the cost of accommodation and the balance is raised from the box office and the Festival Friends scheme. Ticket prices are kept as low as possible and the aim is to break even, with any surplus being put towards future festivals. Somehow the freedom from commercial constraints and from the pursuit of success enables every performer to rediscover why music is so important – it forms bonds, it connects people, it speaks as Beethoven desired “from the heart to the heart”. Rather than sharing an expensive bottle of wine in a posh restaurant, St Endellion is like finding a fresh mountain spring on a warm summer’s day and taking great gulps of the most delicious drink imaginable.

The St Endellion Summer Festival was founded in 1958, when a musical priest, Roger Gaunt, was inspired to invite a group of college friends down to help him renovate St Endellion’s derelict rectory. Slowly the festival grew and evolved from a group of friends putting on small-scale concerts and an annual play to include an orchestra and a chorus. And from the ranks of its enthusiastic participants emerged a young Cambridge graduate and organist - Richard Hickox - who became Artistic Director in the mid Seventies, when he also instituted a sister festival at Easter. Under Richard’s baton the festival developed and its reputation grew, and he remained at the helm until his premature death in 2008.

The Summer Festival has entered a new chapter and goes from strength to strength under the leadership of Artistic Director Mark Padmore, whilst still remaining true to the foundations laid by Richard. Concert performances of opera have become a popular tradition; Endellion operas include The Rake’s Progress, The Magic Flute, Ariadne auf Naxos, Gloriana, Tannhaüser, Die Walküre, Peter Grimes, Carmen, La bohème, Gloriana and Boris Godunov, with Sir John Tomlinson in the title role.

The Easter Festival has grown no less and was chaired from its inception until 2016 by its co-founder Fran Hickox, who latterly was also Festival Director. With a slightly shorter rehearsal period, and taking place at a very different time of year, it has a different kind of focus and concentrates more on smaller-scale orchestral works – although larger-scale works also feature on a regular basis. Always falling in Holy Week or the week following Easter, the programming reflects this special time of year, and the Festival is renowned for its performances of the Bach Passions - whose intensity in the church’s intimate setting can match anything experienced on the summer festival’s opera nights.

Boardmasters 2024 - Newquay

Boardmasters 2024

Established in 1981, Boardmasters is a 5-day event situated across two stunning locations in Cornwall - the surfing mecca of the UK, Fistral Beach where Boardmasters famous International Surf Competitions take place and arguably the most stunning location in the country to watch live music, Watergate Bay. Last year saw Boardmasters welcome over 150,000 festivalgoers across its two sites over the 5 days of the festival. Boardmasters operates a tiered ticket system with price bands for tickets changing over time. The sooner you buy, the cheaper it is! Book tickets via the website.

Boardmasters is located across two sites bursting with the best in music and sports action. Keep the party going at the Beach Sessions with live music on idyllic Fistral Beach, as well as the Beach Bar and BBQ bringing the food, drink and DJ sets. Head into Newquay to party into the early hours with Boardmasters After Parties, which take place at clubs around the town centre. Don’t miss the Surf Village and Cornish Market where you can taste the local delights, as well as Surf Art, photography and film sessions. If watching the surf action from the sidelines has tempted you to try it out yourself, ride the waves with a Surf Lesson from a local surf school. Unwind and relax at the Wellbeing Area or the On Site Eco Spa for some well deserved pamper time. There is also Luxury Camping and Glamping on offer to upgrade your experience even more.

Boardmasters 2024 Line Up TBC
Boardmasters is raring to return to the Cornish coast this summer, for what’s set to be an epic festival filled to the brim with the very best in live music, plus world-class surf action. Today, with just two months to go, even more acts have been added to the bill for the Main Stage, Land of Saints, The View, The Keg & Pasty and Boardmasters VIP, for an unmissable five days of surf and music. Plus, surf competition entries for the Boardmasters OPEN are now live. Headlined by Foals, Gorillaz and Jorja Smith, Boardmasters takes place from 9th - 13th August 2023 across two stunning sites at Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach. See www.boardmasters.com for more information.

Surf Competition
Beyond the music, from the 7th – 11th August 2024, the Boardmasters OPEN will see the best pro surfers going head-to-head in the UK’s biggest surf competition held at surfing mecca Fistral Beach – with surfers battling it out on the waves in the Animal OPEN and BFGoodrich Longboard OPEN. Established in 1981, this year’s Boardmasters OPEN is run in conjunction with UKPSA to help develop the future of British surfing. The event is open to all national and international pro surfers, though surfers must follow the latest UK government guidelines surrounding travel and Covid-19. With men’s, women’s and junior’s divisions in all competitions, the time to enter is NOW.

Shuttle Bus Information
We encourage customers to use our shuttle bus service that operates between the Festival site at Watergate Bay and Newquay town centre, rather than driving their own car. The shuttle bus is the quickest way to reach Fistral Beach. It uses closed roads, it’s considerably quicker than your own car plus parking in Newquay is very limited.

The shuttle bus service will run from 07:30 – 04:30 each day between the Watergate Bay Festival Site and Newquay Town Centre (for Fistral Beach) with multiple buses operating on the route so waiting times are minimal. A reduced service will run on Monday morning. Shuttle buses will depart from Blue Car Park.

The Easter Festival has grown no less and was chaired from its inception until 2016 by its co-founder Fran Hickox, who latterly was also Festival Director. With a slightly shorter rehearsal period, and taking place at a very different time of year, it has a different kind of focus and concentrates more on smaller-scale orchestral works – although larger-scale works also feature on a regular basis. Always falling in Holy Week or the week following Easter, the programming reflects this special time of year, and the Festival is renowned for its performances of the Bach Passions - whose intensity in the church’s intimate setting can match anything experienced on the summer festival’s opera nights.

Don’t miss the Surf Village and Cornish Market where you can taste the local delights, as well as Surf Art, photography and film sessions. If watching the surf action from the sidelines has tempted you to try it out yourself, ride the waves with a Surf Lesson from a local surf school. Unwind and relax at the Wellbeing Area or the On Site Eco Spa for some well deserved pamper time. There is also Luxury Camping and Glamping on offer to upgrade your experience even more.

Boardmasters 2024 Line Up TBC
Boardmasters is raring to return to the Cornish coast this summer, for what’s set to be an epic festival filled to the brim with the very best in live music, plus world-class surf action. Today, with just two months to go, even more acts have been added to the bill for the Main Stage, Land of Saints, The View, The Keg & Pasty and Boardmasters VIP, for an unmissable five days of surf and music. Plus, surf competition entries for the Boardmasters OPEN are now live. Headlined by Foals, Gorillaz and Jorja Smith, Boardmasters takes place from 9th - 13th August 2023 across two stunning sites at Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach. See www.boardmasters.com for more information.

Surf Competition
Beyond the music, from the 7th – 11th August 2024, the Boardmasters OPEN will see the best pro surfers going head-to-head in the UK’s biggest surf competition held at surfing mecca Fistral Beach – with surfers battling it out on the waves in the Animal OPEN and BFGoodrich Longboard OPEN. Established in 1981, this year’s Boardmasters OPEN is run in conjunction with UKPSA to help develop the future of British surfing. The event is open to all national and international pro surfers, though surfers must follow the latest UK government guidelines surrounding travel and Covid-19. With men’s, women’s and junior’s divisions in all competitions, the time to enter is NOW.

Shuttle Bus Information
We encourage customers to use our shuttle bus service that operates between the Festival site at Watergate Bay and Newquay town centre, rather than driving their own car. The shuttle bus is the quickest way to reach Fistral Beach. It uses closed roads, it’s considerably quicker than your own car plus parking in Newquay is very limited.

The shuttle bus service will run from 07:30 – 04:30 each day between the Watergate Bay Festival Site and Newquay Town Centre (for Fistral Beach) with multiple buses operating on the route so waiting times are minimal. A reduced service will run on Monday morning. Shuttle buses will depart from Blue Car Park.

St Endellion Festival - Port Isaac

St Endellion Festival

The St Endellion Music Festivals take place at Easter and in the Summer every year, bringing together a wide range of musicians from all over the world to perform opera, choral, orchestral, chamber and recital concerts in the inspiring and intimate atmosphere of the Collegiate Church of St Endellion, North Cornwall and surrounds. St Endellion is near Port Isaac, about a mile from the glorious North Cornwall Coast.

Each year a community forms out of the shared desire to experience music for the sheer joy of it. What makes the Festivals special is that at the heart of everything is an immense spirit of generosity. The aim is to create the best Festival possible on the smallest possible budget – therefore the musicians and singers, the stage managers and administrators, the cooks and washers-up all give their services for free. The chorus and orchestra all contribute to the cost of accommodation and the balance is raised from the box office and the Festival Friends scheme. Ticket prices are kept as low as possible and the aim is to break even, with any surplus being put towards future festivals. Somehow the freedom from commercial constraints and from the pursuit of success enables every performer to rediscover why music is so important – it forms bonds, it connects people, it speaks as Beethoven desired “from the heart to the heart”. Rather than sharing an expensive bottle of wine in a posh restaurant, St Endellion is like finding a fresh mountain spring on a warm summer’s day and taking great gulps of the most delicious drink imaginable.

The St Endellion Summer Festival was founded in 1958, when a musical priest, Roger Gaunt, was inspired to invite a group of college friends down to help him renovate St Endellion’s derelict rectory. Slowly the festival grew and evolved from a group of friends putting on small-scale concerts and an annual play to include an orchestra and a chorus. And from the ranks of its enthusiastic participants emerged a young Cambridge graduate and organist - Richard Hickox - who became Artistic Director in the mid Seventies, when he also instituted a sister festival at Easter. Under Richard’s baton the festival developed and its reputation grew, and he remained at the helm until his premature death in 2008.

The Summer Festival has entered a new chapter and goes from strength to strength under the leadership of Artistic Director Mark Padmore, whilst still remaining true to the foundations laid by Richard. Concert performances of opera have become a popular tradition; Endellion operas include The Rake’s Progress, The Magic Flute, Ariadne auf Naxos, Gloriana, Tannhaüser, Die Walküre, Peter Grimes, Carmen, La bohème, Gloriana and Boris Godunov, with Sir John Tomlinson in the title role.

The Easter Festival has grown no less and was chaired from its inception until 2016 by its co-founder Fran Hickox, who latterly was also Festival Director.
