Cornwall Beaver Project Guided Walk - Individuals and families - Cornwall Wildlife Trust
Take a walk around our unique reserve to see what the beavers have been building, including their dams and the first lodge in Cornwall in over 400 years!
Join us for a guided walk around the reserve and then relax in this tranquil place at dusk to (hopefully) see and hear the beavers in action.
During the two hour visit, we’ll show you how busy the beavers have been and teach you about their fantastic way of life as ecosystem engineers! Before the walk around the enclosure, there will be a talk to learn more about beavers. The walks will take place in the evening to ensure that you get the best opportunity to see the beavers. The animals are becoming more secretive so a sighting isn’t guaranteed.

Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo - Hall For Cornwall
After captivating audiences worldwide, Private Peaceful returns to the stage with fresh energy and timeless power.
From Michael Morpurgo, beloved author of War Horse, comes the unforgettable story of Tommo Peaceful. On the eve of battle, Tommo looks back over the events that shaped his life: the warmth of family, the innocence of first love, and the deep bond with his brother that carries him through the horrors of war.
In this acclaimed one-person tour de force, adapted and directed by Simon Reade, a single actor conjures an entire world of characters, landscapes, and emotions. At once heartwarming and heartbreaking, Private Peaceful is both a moving family drama and a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.
Making his professional debut, rising star Benjamin Cain – a recent graduate of the BA Professional Acting course at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School – takes on the demanding solo role of Tommo Peaceful, bringing a compelling performance to this celebrated production.
Lauded across the globe as an international smash hit, this production now embarks on a bold new chapter, coming to the Cornwall Playhouse in 2026.
Age recommendation: 9+. Content Warning – gunfire/gunshot sounds, loud banging noises, explosions, war footage, combat scenes, depictions of armed conflict, themes of death and war, flashes of light, non-graphic violence (intense, but not explicit).
Running time: 1 hour 20 minutes, no interval

Falmouth Oyster Fest - Falmouth
Falmouth Oyster Festival, one of Cornwall’s best-loved specialist food events, is returning to Events Square in Falmouth from Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th October 2026. The festival celebrates the native Fal oyster and marks the start of the oyster dredging season, with tickets for the evening headline music sessions on sale now.
Falmouth is one of the only places in the world where native oysters are still harvested by sail and oar. Generations of local oystermen have preserved this time-honoured practice, passing down the skills required to work the tides and winds of the Fal. The method is low-impact, sustainable and environmentally friendly, helping to protect the delicate ecology of the riverbed and the oyster stocks that depend on it.
The festival is free to attend and will once again take place on Events Square in Falmouth. Across the four days, visitors can enjoy free live music, chef demonstrations, talks, market stalls, children’s arts and crafts activities, and the ever-popular Oyster Shucking Competition and Working Boat Race.
In the evenings, ticketed live music sessions bring a further dimension to the celebrations, while the festival draws to a close on Sunday afternoon with the free closing ceremony, featuring the Oggymen.
Kicking off the evening entertainment, Cornwall’s own Falmouth Soul Sensation return for a free-to-attend party on Thursday night. Friday welcomes Mad Dog McRea and their infectious blend of folk rock, gypsy jazz and bluegrass, fresh off the release of a new album. And Saturday sees blues harmonica virtuoso Giles Robson take to the stage with support from Soul/Roots musician Dave Keller. The festival closes in traditional style on Sunday afternoon with the free Closing Ceremony from Falmouth favourites The Oggymen. Tickets for Friday and Saturday are now on sale here.

The festival is free to attend and will once again take place on Events Square in Falmouth. Across the four days, visitors can enjoy free live music, chef demonstrations, talks, market stalls, children’s arts and crafts activities, and the ever-popular Oyster Shucking Competition and Working Boat Race.
In the evenings, ticketed live music sessions bring a further dimension to the celebrations, while the festival draws to a close on Sunday afternoon with the free closing ceremony, featuring the Oggymen.
Kicking off the evening entertainment, Cornwall’s own Falmouth Soul Sensation return for a free-to-attend party on Thursday night. Friday welcomes Mad Dog McRea and their infectious blend of folk rock, gypsy jazz and bluegrass, fresh off the release of a new album. And Saturday sees blues harmonica virtuoso Giles Robson take to the stage with support from Soul/Roots musician Dave Keller. The festival closes in traditional style on Sunday afternoon with the free Closing Ceremony from Falmouth favourites The Oggymen. Tickets for Friday and Saturday are now on sale here.
