It looks like us Brits are due some good luck with the weather this week, and it's about time, too! So if your plans were to hibernate this weekend to avoid the rain, and now you're re-considering, why not head to Cornwall for a live music event? We hear there's plenty of amazing acts to enjoy.

Boardmasters festival kicked off today (Wednesday 9th August), and it's running until Sunday 13th August. There are plenty of day and weekend tickets available, so if you've just decided to head to the coast for sunny days listening to live music, you're not too late to book tickets.

As well as stages housing some of the biggest artists in the UK, such as Little Simz and Liam Gallagher, Boardmasters is also home of the UK's largest silent disco, which runs across two stages. On top of that, the Boardmasters festival is quite literally by the sea (on Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach to be precise), and there's the option to try out coasteering, bodyboarding, paddleboarding, and kayaking — Glastonbury may have had Elton John, but did it have snorkelling?

Here's how you can get last-minute tickets to Boardmasters 2023.

Where is Boardmasters 2023?

Boardmasters is located on Trebelsue Farm, Watergate Bay in Newquay. Watergate Bay hosts the music festival, whereas Fistral Beach puts on the festival's surf competition. The two sites are approximately a one hour and 20-minute walk away from each other, or, you can take a 13-minute shuttle bus.

To get to the festival, travelling to Newquay Station is probably your best bet, as there are shuttle buses outside the station to take you and your fellow music-loving friends to the festival.
