More about Vellanoweth

Cornwall, England

Vellanoweth sits pretty in Cornwall with a view that makes you forget you're not actually on holiday. The town centre is full of little spots where locals gather for markets or pop-up stalls that appear when the weather turns proper summer. There are always films playing at the community hall and live music drifting from somewhere down the high street. We pull it all together so you don't have to wander miles just to find out what's going on tonight.
