New Year’s Eve in Port Isaac
The small streets of Port Isaac will be full of people bustling in and out of the cosy little pubs and restaurants
The picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac has a lively atmosphere on New Year's Eve and is popular with locals. Choose one of the local restaurants to start the evening with a delicious seafood dinner, such as The Mote. After dinner, head to The Golden Lion and make the most of the live music. At midnight, everyone spills outside to watch the fireworks display over the harbour.
New Year’s Eve in Polzeath
Located right in the centre of Polzeath, The Waterfront hosts a lively New Year's Eve party
At The Waterfront in Polzeath, New Year's Eve is a merry evening full of good food and live music. Start your celebrations early enough, and you can enjoy views of the sun setting over the ocean. Join in as everyone counts down the seconds and cheers as the clock chimes midnight.
New Year’s Eve in Rock
From The Mariners, you have a front row seat to the fireworks, which are set off just across the estuary in Padstow
The Mariners Public House overlooks the Camel Estuary in the heart of Rock. The menu is full of excellent local produce and paired with beers and ales from Sharp's Brewery, who are based just up the road.
New Year’s Eve in Wadebridge
Soak up the festive spirit as everyone gathers to watch the fireworks on the old bridge
Pick a spot by the fire and enjoy a drink or two at The Ship Inn or reserve a table at The Pearl & Trawl. Then, at midnight, join the locals and be dazzled by the fireworks displays from the best viewing spot in town, the old bridge.
New Year’s Eve in Padstow
Make sure to step outside at midnight and watch as the fireworks light up the sky above Padstow
Wrap up warm and board the passenger ferry from Rock to Padstow, the journey in itself is special as you sail past the bright lights that adorn the boats in the harbour. Once on the other side of the estuary, Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant offers a special New Year’s Eve menu, or join the merry locals in one of the harbourside pubs. Book a taxi for the journey home.
Celebrate New Year’s Eve from a holiday cottage
If you don't fancy braving the chilly winter weather, you can see in the New Year from the comfort of your holiday home. Fee Turner Catering offers a mouth-watering menu and will take care of it all as you relax and enjoy time with your friends and family.
