The busiest months for festivals here are June and October, counting each month an event runs in.

What our Cornwall guide says about those seasons:

Summer (June to August)

Beaches, boat trips and harbour towns are at their busiest, and Visit Cornwall warns of heavy traffic at weekends and in school holidays. Book parking, tables and rooms early.

Autumn (September to November)

Quieter coast paths and beaches. Some attractions shorten their hours and Atlantic storms can close cliff paths or castles, as at Tintagel on the day this guide was checked.
