Cornwall is packed with things to do, including many fabulous family attractions such as Cornwall’s Crealy Adventure Park, a great venue with thrilling rides, play zones and animals. Children can enjoy endless play in the Adventure Realm, whilst those who like magic and mystery will love the Enchanted Forest or Haunted House. Brave little explorers will enjoy riding the Thunder Falls Log Flume and boarding the Viking Pirate Ship. Animal lovers will adore the barn full of baby bunnies, cute goat kids and fluffy lambs or even taking a ride on a horse. Crealy’s Cornwall truly is the ultimate adventure playground and a fabulous, fun-filled family day out for all.

Here in Newquay we always say to visitors “Any excuse for a holiday!” And with all the great special offers, accommodation choices and top-class entertainment and facilities here, you hardly need an excuse. However, as we prepare to welcome the crowds for May Day and the Spring Bank Holiday, we thought we should dig deeper into the history and culture behind the celebrations.
