Going on holiday in St Ives
While Britain's weather may be unpredictable, St Ives is a treasure all year long. Those seeking sun, sand and swimming excursions are recommended to book a trip in the summer. The weather is warm and St Ives is bustling with activity at this time. For those less fond of crowds and in search of better deals, try to book outside of school holiday periods. May and September, in particular, retain some of the fine weather without the footfall. While perhaps too crisp for swims, spring and autumn also bring delightful scenes and coastal walks. Winter is the low season in St Ives but gone are the days of battened down hatches. St Ives museums get festive and the Tate puts on its seasonal winter festival.

St Ives – an old-school fishing village with an artistic soul
St Ives may have been an important fishing village, but it also persisted as an artistic mecca. Scores of British and European artists headed up to St Ives from the 1920s onward. The result is a strong artistic tradition centred around the excellent Tate, Barbara Hepworth Museum and Society of Artists. These fine institutions are matched by a vibrant arts and crafts scene, which you can explore in St Ives.
