So much is planned you'll need to get down to the Platt for the Summer’s come 11,30am start so that you can fit everything in. St Breward Band I , verything crossed for some good weather this open the proceedings. The now month and in particular on Sunday August 19th - familiar RNLI stalls will turn the Platt into a market place the day of the RNLI's Annual Lifeboat Funday. and the new range of Port Isaac RNLI shirts will be on sale.
For the children there is the ever popular Bouncy Castle and lots of games as well as mask painting and pony and cart rides.
And for the 'big children’ there’s a 'Beer and Pimms’ 'tent'! The cake stall will be laden with home made goodies and when they've all been sold (which is usually very quickly so that's another reason for getting there early) it will miraculously change into a ‘Cream Tea' stall with homemade scones. Teas and soft drinks will be available throughout the day and you won’t go hungry as the RNLI barbeque will be up and running until it sells out. RNLI souvenirs, Christmas cards, special Port Isaac RNLI gifts, a raffle and tombola, the Wheel of Fortune - the list is endless. And don’t forget canoeing and the chance to go out in one of the Port Isaac gigs. Oh yes, and there's a golf game and egg throwing. Plus a demonstration from the crew and the Coastguard.
And then, the icing on the cake - playing live on the Platt during the afternoon - Pete Turner’s Cajun Band, the Gumbo Flyers.
See you there. Oh, and if it is wet, well - most of it’s in the Village Hall (probably not the pony and cart rides!).
St Breward Band As usual The St Breward Band will be playing every Thursday evening on the Platt from 7.45pm and then marching through the village leading the Flora Dance procession.
Fishermen’s Friends Eight bells on a Friday night (8 o'clock) and Port Isaac's very own sea shanty singers, the Fishermen’s Friends, sing live on the Platt.
Forebitter Concert And our Fishermen’s Friends will be joining the American sea shanty group Forebitter and the Cam Awn Singers for a concert in the Village Hall on Tuesday August 21 ”.
