New Years Eve...

St Ives likes to celebrate the New Year in style and it is the perfect time to come and visit and explore...

 
The most important thing to have for 2014/15 is of course… fancy dress!  About 95% of everyone in St Ives on New Years will be dressed up – there is no theme, just make sure you are wearing something silly.  You can bring clothes with you to wear but in the run up to New Year, all the local charity shops have saved up all their fancy dress outfits and you will have a wealth of choice for children and adults too.
 

It is best to book a table in advance if you want dinner and although the pubs and bars will be busy, there is plenty of room for a super hero or a tiger.  At midnight, everyone gathers on The Wharf to see the fireworks see in the New Year (with some people even going for a swim..brrrrr).

The next day, blow all the cobwebs away with a lovely beach walk or enjoy a warm English Breakfast with some tea and fresh coffee to ease you into 2015.

The Sail Lofts Christmas Party...

This years Christmas festivities found the Sail Lofts team dining at Alfresco on Tuesday, enjoying a wonderful alternative Christmas feast of pork belly starters and cod mains. We even had the delight of being joined by the wonderful Kelly, who many of our returning guests will know is currently on maternity leave, along with her gorgeous baby Evie...
 

Alfresco is situated along the harbour front here in St Ives, and is a firm favourite of the Sail Lofts and is always top on our recommendation list for any guests wondering where best to dine locally. 
 

We would like to say a huge thank you to the Alfresco team for the great food and a brilliant afternoon had by all.
