Just round the corner from Penzance is Mousehole where the Salt, Sea and Sail festival takes place every other year. This is a really spectacular event when the harbour fills up with crafts of all shapes and sizes flying all the colours of the rainbow and with some outstandingly talented musicians performing on the harbour wall. The next festival will be in 2016 but they also have a carnival in August and their Christmas lights switch on in December is a fantastic event.
