What's On In St Ives Cornwall


Hammered Steel - St Ives Guildhall - Saturday 25th July


St Ives Cornwall Blog returns after a short break!

Apologies to regular readers for the absence of posts over the last week or so - I've been enjoying a break in Spain.

So I'll start with my regular review of what's going on over the next week.

Tonight there's a Caribbean Evening at The Guildhall with St Just based band Hammered Steel.
I've seen them perform before and they're a great young band.
This is also a fundraiser for St Ives Lions so well worth supporting.
A free glass of Caribbean punch with your ticket - dress up if you want.
Tickets: £8.00 (adults), £4.00 (children).
Available from St Ives Tourist Information or on the door.

On Sunday you could check out the new Harry Potter movie - The Half Blood Prince - at The Royal Cinema. We went to see it last week and its the best yet.
Its also on every day throughout the week - 13.45, 17.15, 20.45.
Tickets: £6.00 (adults), £4.00 (children and OAPs).
Do what we did and get tickets in advance to avoid the queue and get the best seats.

On Monday evening there's a Life Drawing Class at St Ives School Of Painting.
Starts at 19.30, no need to book just turn up ten minutes before.
Cost is £7.00.

On Tuesday night St Ives Jazz Club are staging Edgar Macias Quintet -
'A five-piece band that combines different jazz styles and rhythms from funk to South American. Edgar is a fantastic Venezuelan pianist and a great exponent of Latin jazz.'
Doors open at 20.00, music from 21.00.
Tickets on the door: £9.00 / £6.00 (members).

Wednesday is Karaoke Night at The Sheaf Of Wheat with local legend Freddy Zapp.
Starts at 20.30 free entry.

On Thursday night Cafe Frug returns to St Ives Arts Club - hosted by Bob Devereux.
An eclectic mix of music, poetry, prose, film and whatever else people feel like doing.
Entry £4.00 on the door, starts around 20.00.

On Friday night you could explore a little culture with Late At The Tate.
Starts at 19.00 with music food and BBQ on the roof terrace, galleries open until 21.00.
Free entry.

Have a great week in St Ives.

As ever there is loads more stuff going on - some of which is on my St Ives Cornwall Events Calendar.
If you want me to plug your event let me have details along with the usual incentives and I'll think about it.

  6. As far as I know there will be a fireworks display on Porthminster Beach.

    I've emailed St Ives Town Council for more info but haven't had a reply yet.

    Will post more details when I have them.
