Cornwall · Nightlife

The one genuinely late town in Cornwall, and it knows it: surf bars, stag parties and clubs running well past midnight in summer.

A university and sailing town with the best year-round pub and live music scene in the county, and it stays open out of season.

Porthleven, Mousehole, Charlestown and St Agnes all have pubs on the water. Most kitchens stop by nine and the last bus is earlier than you think.

Local breweries are everywhere and most pubs pour at least one. Cider here is often unfiltered and stronger than it tastes.

Performances run through the season on the cliff at Porthcurno. It goes ahead in most weather, which is why regulars bring waterproofs.
