The RNAS Culdrose ASR helicopter giving a demonstration rescue, assisted by the Fowey lifeboats, and watched by HM Customs cutter Vigilant. The crowd on both jetties have a wonderful view of the rescue and the spectacular boat handling. |
|
Mevagissey being a working fishing harbour, the fishing boats have got to have a race round the bay. The handicapper never gets it right and the protests are debated in the pubs of Meva through most of the night. |
|
There is also a raft race, fancy costume obligatory, and there is a huge flour and water fight before the start, where all competitors try to sink their rivals. Usual story with the protests in the pubs afterwards. |
|
The schoolchildren of Meva make a fish model, this one is called Pete (a local in-joke) and parade it round the village to the accompaniment of bands etc. The carnival is on the Saturday afternoon and has a huge following. That night there is a spectacular firework show on the lighthouse quay. |
|
WARNING! Mevagissey partying is not for the fainthearted ! |
|
If you like a good time then this is the time and place. |
|
During the week there are performances by the renowned Mevagissey Male Voice Choir, Mevagissey Ladies Choir, concerts on the Quay, flower arranging in st Andrews, and fish cooking demonstrations. |
