The no.1 events listing guide for Cornwall - FREE AM 11
M 0P .3 -8
Welcome www.whatsoncornwall.co.uk
I don’t know about you lot but we’re shattered. Why? Well, we’ve been working on the WoC website in an attempt to make it as fabulous as these guides (there’s some way to go but progress has definitely been made); we’ve rearranged the office to accommodate our new apprentice who is starting this month; Henry’s going on holiday tomorrow so we’ve had to do next week’s work as well as this week’s; and there’s over 450 events in this guide. Fingers? Bleeding? I should say so. Still, we are proud to present this festival-tastic, musically-marvellous, family-friendly, theatre-thabulous issue. Good luck with the brilliant Boardmasters competition on page 19. Have a wonderful August people, and we’ll see you in a month.
Rachel Make sure you tell us about it; a basic listing is free or you can upgrade from only £20. See www.whatsoncornwall.co.uk/submit
