Sea Salt and Sail - Mousehole
The festival lasts over a three day weekend with a variety of different events, preformances and amusements providing a great day out for all the family.
"Once upon a time you could look down on the channel between St. Clement's Island and Mousehole Harbour and see one of the largest Cornish fleets of luggers, heading out to their fishing grounds. Sea Salts and Sail will re-enact that scene as over forty traditional boats with similar tanned sails, leave the port, tacking back and forth inside and around the island. This festival really reveals Mousehole's close relationship with the sea. From kids paddling at low tide, sculling races, to the harbour packed full of historic vessels, it’s when the village really comes to life. It will be a very nostalgic scene whether you are a spectator on the shore or a participant under sail - be there! The best way to arrive is by classic boat, of course - I'll be on the 40' lugger Barnabas."Toby Floyer - Skipper of lugger Barnabas, 1881 St Ives mackerel driver (Cornish Maritime Trust)

Ellie’s 20th Birthday Celebrations Weekend - Lappa Valley
Lappa Valley is preparing a very special celebration in 2026: the 20th birthday of our much-loved steam locomotive, Ellie.
This landmark weekend will honour two decades since Ellie first steamed to life, with plenty of opportunities for visitors to see her hard at work on our Main Railway. Families, railway enthusiasts and young train fans alike will be able to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of steam as Ellie takes centre stage for her birthday.
Ellie was built in 2006 by the Exmoor Steam Railway for a private 12¼-inch gauge garden railway, where she was only ever steamed a handful of times. A few years later she returned to her builders at Exmoor and, during the winter of 2016–17, was rebuilt and re-gauged to 15 inches specifically for service at Lappa Valley.
She arrived here in August 2017 as our No. 4 locomotive and has since become a firm favourite, known for her power, reliability and smart appearance as she hauls trains through the Cornish countryside.
To mark Ellie’s 20th birthday, the celebration weekend will feature special services on our Main Railway, giving guests even more chances to ride behind her and capture those all-important photos and memories.
More details about the event will be released closer to the event in July, but visitors can expect a warm, nostalgic atmosphere and a fitting tribute to Ellie’s two decades since she first left the Exmoor works.
Tickets are now available to book here. Lappa Valley Members enjoy free admission.
