After a year off in 2025, we are all really excited for the return of this wonderful event in 2026 when shanty singing groups and musicians from far and wide will once again travel to Port Isaac and fill our little village by the sea with song!

Are you planning a holiday to Port Isaac this year? With so much going on in 2026, we’re looking forward to every season. Here’s a look at what’s planned in and around Port Isaac this year.

We are delighted to share the news that after the much loved Padstow Christmas Festival, one of the highlights of Cornwall’s Christmas Calendar, was cancelled in 2024, this year the Padstow Christmas Fayre has risen to take its place.

For four days this September, from Thursday 25th through to Sunday 28th, the North Cornwall Book Festival returns to St Endellion, just outside Port Isaac, with another fantastic line-up of author talks and workshops for fans of literature.

At the end of this month, Port Isaac’s parish church of St Endellion will once again host an incredible array of musicians and singers performing opera, choral, orchestral, chamber and recital concerts for the 2024 St Endellion Summer Festival.

Over the weekend of April 19th – 21st 2024 Port Isaac will once again host its amazing FREE music festival celebrating the songs of the sea.
