Two weeks of St Ives at its most itself — galleries, chapels and seafront halls filling with live music, theatre, exhibitions, open studios, film, talks, walks, poetry and comedy, with the town's off-season light and quiet still intact.

A lovely one for a couple's autumn break by the sea, or for going solo and picking a different corner of the programme each evening — folk one night, jazz the next, a gallery talk the morning after.
