Swell or Swill?

The occasional page of stuff we like. This issue we’ve helped plan your summer for you. Enter our quick guide to what we think is worth doing when it’s sunny.

Surely one of the summer’s highlights is the theatre adaptation of the Terry Pratchett novel ‘Wyrd Sisters’ being performed at the Minack Theatre in Penzance. A parody of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, this is one of Pratchett’s best books and makes for a superb performance. Suitable for all ages it should prove to be an excellent show. Running from July 25th - 29th. www.minack.com. NH.

Kicking off on the 6th August is Falmouth Week. Last year saw major events on and off the water, so lots of action to keep sailors and landlubbers alike entertained. Last year saw Athelete and 13 Senses playing at the Events Square. This years line up hasn’t been totally finalised but stay updated on: www.falmouthweek.co.uk. Best to book early as it’s one of the busiest weeks of the summer. NH.

On May 27th, Run to the Sun will take Newquay by storm in a 3-day event set to attract thousands. The VW and Custom Car cruise heralding the opening of the festival is the defining element, although the entertainment certainly takes centre stage. Experience that unmistakable feeling of euphoria as three arenas hosted by visiting legends tantalise the appetite for new levels of partying, inspired by Judge Jules, Andy Farley, and Point Blank. Swell or swill? Judging from the seventy cars that originally rolled up in 1987, leaping to 10,000 revellers in 2004, the swell factor is seemingly high. RC.
