\nWhen do the festivities in St Ives begin?<\/h2>\n
The celebrations start early. Roads around the town centre and harbour front will close to traffic from 6pm.<\/p>\n
This allows the early bird revellers to take to the streets. Parents with young children or big families tend to take the first sitting.<\/p>\n
They appear early on in their costumes, kicking off the celebrations in style.<\/p>\n
During the early evening, the local shops, pubs and bars are very welcoming towards families. They offer a safe, fun-filled experience for everyone.<\/p>\n
\nDo I have to dress up to join the New Year’s Eve celebrations?<\/h2>\n
Fancy dress is not obligatory, but it is the perfect opportunity to be a little outrageous!<\/p>\n
You’ll be the odd one out if you don’t<\/em> dress up.<\/p>\n
We’ve seen everything from light-up jellyfish, hefty seagulls, and The Incredibles family. To Donald Trump, Oompa Loompas and even a St Ives postcard!<\/p>\n
\nWhere can I find a costume?<\/h2>\n
There are a handful of great charity shops in St Ives selling second hand clothes.<\/p>\n
Visit one of these shops to find some quirky costumes, and help charities and local business at the same time.<\/p>\n
For something to really blow fellow party-goers away, head to Kidz R Us<\/strong><\/a> at St Ives Theatre<\/strong>. Every year they offer a costume hire service, with the profits raised going back to the theatre.<\/p>\n
You can also make a trip to Streetlife Fancy Dress Shop<\/strong><\/a> on Ventor Terrace, near the top of Porthmeor Hill for more great St Ives fancy dress options.<\/p>\n
\nWhat’s on in St Ives on New Year’s Eve?<\/h2>\n
New Year celebrations spread throughout the St Ives town. The harbour front is where you’ll find the core of the activity.<\/p>\n
Explore the streets and you’ll come across live music in the pubs and bars. The music ranges from traditional folk to modern covers.<\/p>\n
If weather permits, the beach becomes a gathering point. The sands are lit up by the St Ives Christmas lights. Bring along a fold up chair and a blanket and watch the antics continue.<\/p>\n

\nWhere to eat on New Year’s Eve in St Ives?<\/h2>\n
Do you prefer to people-watch and take in your surroundings from a plush chair rather than be on your feet?<\/p>\n
If the answer is yes, then think about making a reservation at one of St Ives’ seafront restaurants.<\/p>\n
