FOWEY REGATTA
For a week in August, Fowey plays host to one of Britain’s premier sailing events. The Regatta Week is unparalleled in the Fowey calendar and brings many visitors to the town. But the committee decided that the wellbeing of the community, businesses, visitors and everyone involved with the Regatta cannot be placed at risk.

ROCK OYSTER FESTIVAL
This family-friendly, independent festival is a brilliant fusion of food and music with Michelin star chef Paul Ainsworth at its heart. “A huge thank you to all our restaurants, chefs and suppliers and everyone who has got behind the Rock Oyster,” says Paul. “Stay safe everyone and we’ll see you in 2021. In the meantime please join us in supporting your local community, restaurants, food and drink producers and our Cornish fishermen wherever and whenever you can.”
Tickets for the 2020 festival will be valid for next year’s event.
New date: TBC rockoysterfestival.com
BOARD MASTERS
Boardmasters is the most high profile surfing event in the UK with elite athletes from around the globe taking part in five days of exhilarating surf action on Fistral Beach. Weather forced the cancellation in 2019 and coronavirus forced organisers to postpone this year’s event. Organisers admit they are gutted.
