St Ives - New Year 31st December 2010
St Ives has a national reputation for celebrating New Year’s Eve by the sea with lots of laughter and spirit. Fancy dress is not compulsory, but most people make an effort and with the crowds of people you may perhaps look out of place without fancy dress. The streets of St Ives are filled with people with music and at midnight, the New Year starts with some fabulous fireworks on the harbour. Always a night to remember!
