Cornwall Festivals and Events 2027: A Calendar for Local Advertisers

Cornwall's events season is one of the best chances all year for a local business to get in front of visitors. From spring cider festivals to the Royal Cornwall Show and Boardmasters, tens of thousands of people travel across the county for festivals, shows and regattas. Here is our calendar of the major Cornwall festivals and events in 2027, with what each one brings.

Onroad Media's billboard van goes to Cornwall's major festivals and events, parking outside where the crowds arrive and leave. Use this calendar to plan when and where you want to be seen. Dates are from public listings, so always check the official event website before you plan around them.

How to advertise at Cornwall's festivals

Fixed advertising at the big events is expensive and often sold out to sponsors. A mobile billboard van is a cheaper way to be there: the van parks on the roads and car parks outside the events, where every visitor passes on the way in and out, and moves on to the next event. Between events it is back at Newquay's busiest spots, including Fistral, Watergate Bay and the town centre.
