Welcome www.whatsoncornwall.co.uk

Well, we made it... 2015. From our ﬁrst guide in May, created in in the freezing cold spare room at Toby’s house; through our Spring issues brought to you from a disused shed in a boatyard; to our latter efforts from a swanky ofﬁce at Krowji in Redruth, we have certainly been on a fairly steep learning curve! We expect to print over 150,000 guides in 2015, giving us a readership of about half a million. The What’s on Cornwall website will also be used by well over that amount; that’s a total reach of over a million event goers!

Please remember to mention What’s on Cornwall when booking events or responding to adverts.
