What to do in St Ives this Spring
Spring has well and truly sprung in St Ives. Songbirds are out in full force as Easter has welcomed in the warm weather to St Ives and the town begins to move away from those crazy snowy March days on Porthmeor and move towards the sunny weather we all know and love. As the season begins to take full effect the reasons to visit St Ives becomes an ever-growing list. Of course there's the things we've come to expect - hot sunny days spent relaxing out on the beach or those days where the weather's simply perfect to explore Cornwall's vast winding picturesque coast. But what's in store in the town? The local community is full of unique events that allow you to explore the best that the town has to offer from our luxury apartments in St Ives, here's a selection of what's to come over the next few weeks.
St Ives Gin and Prosecco Festival - 21st April
