It’s sad to say, but Summer is nearly over! But luckily for us there are still plenty of great events going on throughout Cornwall in September, which will make waving goodbye to long, hot days a little easier. The kids may be back to school but if you want to entertain them come the weekend, there are lots of family friendly things going on. If you’re more of a foodie, or would like to see some live music, there’s plenty of that too!
