It’s not just the ice cream that draws people towards this part of our beautiful coastline in the summer; it’s also because of all the great events that take place here!

Parkdean Holidays has 24 award-winning family holiday parks situated in some of the most beautiful locations in the UK, offering a huge diversity of fun for all ages: free kids’ clubs for tots to teens: great live family evening entertainment; indoor/outdoor swimming pools, and activities such as archery, laser combat and adventure playgrounds.

With eight parks situated in Cornwall: four in the popular Newquay area; one near the stylish village of Rock; two on the stunning Lizard coastline, and one near Polperro and the pretty town of Looe, the Parkdean Holidays’ team make their suggestions on the best events in the area this summer:
