Easter Eggs Hunt at Trengwainton

The trail takes place between 29 March - 14 April (closed Fridays and Saturdays, except Good Friday) and costs £3 per child.

Chocolate making workshops

Learn to surf

With the wonderful waves of Porthmeor on the doorstep, an Easter break offers the perfect opportunity to master a new skill. Our friends at St Ives Surf School offer private and small group lessons to get you ‘hanging ten’ in no time. For further information click here.

Hire eBikes

For something a little different why not consider hiring eBikes for the whole family and exploring our little corner of Cornwall on two wheels? With St Ives eBikes you can simply hire bikes and make your own fun or alternatively, join one of their guided tours. From short tours exploring the hidden viewpoints of St Ives to full day adventures cycling from coast to coast, you are sure to find something that appeals.

Outdoor Theatre

Thanks to our favourable micro-climate, the mild temperatures often arrive slightly early here in Cornwall. Take advantage of warmer days and indulge in a spot of outdoor theatre. From the Minack Theatre’s stunning cliffside amphitheatre to the immersive story telling from Rogue Theatre, there is plenty to capture the imaginations in Cornwall this Easter.
