Post by: manicscousers on August 05, 2011, 16:40:09
From 13th to 26th August. We usually do all the usual stuff, Eden etc. Anything else, we're staying near St Ives but are willing to travel. Local stuff ?
Thanks in advance  ;D

Well if you want to go a bit further to Devon, they have a pretty amazing fireworks display in Plymouth mid August.

If you want to see an outdoor play, visit The Minack Theatre near Porthcurno.

Take a blanket to sit on and flask as the evenings can get a bit cold and breezy!
The seats and stage are cut into the cliff side, it was designed and built by one woman!
