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.

Smeatons view is a beautiful holiday apartment. The views are amazing from all rooms in the property. The property is well equipped and has everything you need for a break away. I have stayed in other property's in st ives and nothing compares to smeatons view. I have stayed there 4 times now and would defiantly like to stay there again in the future. I would certainly recommended this property to family and friends it's wonderful. I should also mention that this property is only a short walk from some great shops, bars and restaurants.

Fantastic views and comfortable flat with two long convenient flights of steps to get you down into the town, in 5 minutes, which are a decreasing challenge as your fitness improves on the way home!

Beautiful views
Mrs Tunnicliffe August 2016
Smeatons view is an amazing place to stay. My first stay was 3 years ago and I have returned once a year since. The views from the property are out of this world. The property is very clean and well equipped with things you may need on your holiday. The town centre is also very close to smeatons view roughly 10 minutes walk. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the town centre. Over all my stay at smeatons view has been great and no doubt I will be returning there next year.
Ms Duke March 2016
The views are amazing, you are away from all the crowds in the town and the walk back up keeps you fit!
Mrs Baker September 2015
We love our stays at Smeaton's View.
