The scene in Newquay

Newquay carries Cornwall's real nightlife scene - The Koola runs three levels of hip-hop, rock, funk, drum & bass and house seven nights a week through summer, while Sailors runs as the town's late-night club proper, open to around 3-4am.

Boardmasters, held every August, combines live music with surfing and skateboarding competitions and is one of the bigger combined music-and-sport festivals in the UK calendar - it puts Newquay on a different scale to most seaside towns for the week it runs.

How buying a ticket works, in practice

Every listing above is a real event. Each one links to where its tickets are sold: on On The Door when the promoter sells through us, or on the organiser’s own ticket page. When you buy here, the price you see is the price you pay, with no booking fee added at checkout, and your ticket is a QR code on your phone that you show at the door.
