Overview

St Ives is a family resort, where many holidaymakers come back year after year. It is a delightful town with plenty of Cornish character and clotted cream! The St Ives Tate Gallery attracts visitors from overseas, so team members with foreign language skills should brush them up!

St Ives is a sheltered spot where families come to spend the day in the sun, many of them coming back year after year to link with the Beach Team! We aim to run a couple of family events over the course of a week (such as a Smugglers Trail and Family knockout). We also hold open-air meetings by the harbour, on the slipway most evenings. It provides a good opportunity as great numbers of people walk around this part of town in the evenings.
