What's on in Watergate

Cornwall, England

Watergate sits right on the edge of Cornwall, a spot where the sea breeze does more than just cool your tea; it actually helps you decide what to do next. The Wax has been hosting gigs for years without ever feeling like it's trying too hard, while community groups usually manage something useful in the village hall nearby. Not bad for a Tuesday. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting when the rain starts drumming on the roof. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening while wondering if the ferry has left yet.

It’s also about letting go of the person you’ve always thought you are, and using your midlife crisis to pursue new goals and reinvent yourself. “Impeccably punchlined anecdotes … genuinely delightful” The Telegraph “A treat from start to finish” The Herald Lucy Porter - Let Yourself Go!
