Held on the anniversary of the consecration of the Parish Church of St Eia in 1434 AD, Feast Day offers visitors to witness - and even join in with - some centuries-old traditions. A morning precesison led by the Mayor to bless the Well of St Eia. Following this, the Mayor will 'Hurls the Silver Ball' into a crowd of children who assemble on the beach below. The one who returns the ball to the Guildhall steps by midday receives a silver coin. In the afternoon the Mayor then throw pennies from the balcony of the Guildhall for children to collect.

Had many holidays in Cornwall with Aspects Holidays and our favorites has to be Hobbit Cottage & Nell's Cottage.Always stayed at Hobbit but left to late to book so choose Nell's cottage. Will be hard to choose next year between the two as love them both. Excellent location, clean and nicely furnished. For a family of four can highly recommend both.
