Here's a few of our top picks for things to do in Cornwall and Falmouth in October half term.
It's all getting rather eerie this October half-term at the famous National Maritime Museum in Falmouth. In true Halloween fashion, expect spooky performances, shadow puppet workshops and mysteries to unfold over the Museum's four floors.
Will you accept the challenge this Halloween and embark on a special quest - to protect the world's forests? Uncover their hiding places and discover ancient wisdom, extraordinary tales and enchanting performances at the Eden Project from 18-29 October.
You don't have to go far for this one. Opposite St Michaels lies the blue-flag Gylly beach and in October, you'll find it free of windbreakers, buckets and spades and dog bans lifted. Take a wander along the sand to Castle beach where you'll find rockpools galore.
A true family favourite. Head on over to Trevaskis Farm near Hayle where you'll be greeted by pumpkins as far as the eye can see and a few farmyard animals to boot. Entrance is free, just pay for what you pick. And a little top tip from us, try one of their famous puds!
