Feast your eyes on a week of treats.

Join the hundreds of locals and visitors who flock to the small fishing village of Mevagissey in Cornwall each year to enjoy the celebrations of Mevagissey Feast Week. Dating back to 1754 the ‘Feast of St.Peter’, to celebrate the Patron Saint of Fishermen, this week long calendar of events means that no matter what day you go, there will be plenty to see and do for all ages.

Taking place from June 27^th to July 4^th 2010, you could get into the heart of the action by staying just 75 yards from the harbour in Seagull Cottage. An ideal self catering holiday cottage to make sure you won’t miss the fishing boat race around the bay on the opening day. Live music, Air Sea Rescue demonstrations and the Fish Festival, where you can pick up some local produce to take to the Teddy Bear’s Picnic or to enjoy in your holiday cottage, and children’s entertainment that will be sure to exhaust even the most demanding of children are all part of the week.

Feast Week is one of the busiest times for Mevagissey, the narrow streets and hoards of people can make parking somewhat of a headache at this time! Some people decide to stay just outside to be able to enjoy Mevagissey but to also explore other parts of Cornwall. Cottages nearby are an ideal way to spend your holiday, places such as White Cottage in the quaint village of Veryan or Primrose Cottage in Portloe, are perfect base to combine family holiday fun with a visit to the big finale on Saturday, July 4^th starting with the traditional Flora Dance being led by the children of Mevagissey School and ending in a magnificent fireworks display- not to be missed!
