St Pirans day
St Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall and on March 5th each year, Cornwall celebrates the saint with a whole host of activities, parades and events to truly showcase Cornish heritage and culture. St Ives itself being a renowned fishing harbour and situated in close proximity to the mining coastline, offers lots of celebrations to try; including plenty of fresh Cornish pasties and treats for travelling guests to indulge in and get a true taste of Cornwall for themselves.
Staying in our Surf property, you’ve got excellent central access to St Ives to make the most all of the activities and goings on. You can fully relax and try out everything there is to offer. After a full day of celebrations, you can retreat to the comfort of your own private home-from-home.
On March 25th St Ives hosts a kite festival on top of The Island. Starting in 1991 this festival is a bit of creative fun mixed in with embracing the fresh sea breeze and spring time elements. Hosts of the event invite participants to come along and admire the display or build and test out their own flying creations.
Staying in our Lighthouse property, you have a perfect viewing platform, with views out to The Island from the cosy second floor living area. After having a cup of something warm and admiring the flying creations from your apartment; you could try building one for yourself and testing it out amongst the others. Then after you’ve exercised your flying muscles, take a nice relaxing stroll along the coast to take in the Cornish coastline.
Starting April 4th, St Ives Artisan Market will be in full swing. Over twenty local craftspeople will be showcasing their homemade and handcrafted goods for you to peruse and purchase a unique one-of-a-kind item for yourselves.
