A little glimpse of yesterday’s eclipse from Polmanter 🌒

Our team donned their eclipse glasses and took some time out to watch as the moon slowly moved across the sun. From The Stable Bar and Reception to the dog field and all the little corners in between, there were some brilliant views across the site.

We’ve heard the beaches around St Ives were packed with people watching too - it was certainly a special moment to be in Cornwall!

📸 Did you capture it from Polmanter, the beach, or somewhere else? We’d love to see your eclipse photos! Share them in the comments below 👇

Look up on Wednesday evening – Cornwall's about to see something special!

On 12 August, the UK gets a partial solar eclipse, and thanks to being tucked away in the far west, St Ives will see one of the best views anywhere in the country – around 95% of the sun covered by the moon. The next eclipse this dramatic won't be visible here again until 2081.

It runs from around 6pm, with the moon at its deepest coverage around 7:10pm, finishing by 8pm. The sun will be low over the sea to the west, so anywhere with a clear Atlantic view – which, let's face it, is most of St Ives – will do nicely.

One important bit: there’s no safe moment to look directly at it, even at maximum coverage. You’ll need proper certified eclipse glasses.

No glasses? A simple pinhole projector (a hole in a piece of card, projected onto another) or a pair of binoculars projected onto white card will show you the eclipse safely, without ever looking at the sun directly.

Fingers crossed for clear skies – it's a rare one. 🌘

Kids eat for less at The Stable Bar this summer 🍟

School holidays are all about making memories... and keeping everyone well fed!

The government has cut VAT on children's meals for the school summer holidays, and we're passing every penny of that saving straight on to you – right through to 1st September.

So whether you're popping in after a day at the beach, a swim in the pool or exploring St Ives, you can enjoy a family meal for a little less.

It's all part of a nationwide summer scheme, so you'll spot savings at family attractions across Cornwall too, including:

🎥 Royal St Ives Cinema
🦜 Paradise Park
🌿 Eden Project

🌅 Land's End by day... or by night? 🎆

If you're staying with us this summer, Royal Buses are making it even easier to visit one of Cornwall's most iconic landmarks – with two trips departing directly from Polmanter.

🚌 By day, hop aboard the Land's End Coaster Day Trip, taking in Marazion, St Michael's Mount, St Just and, of course, Land's End itself.

✨ By night, experience Land's End's Magic in the Skies evenings. Arrive in time to enjoy food, drinks and live entertainment as the sun sets over the Atlantic, before watching the spectacular 10pm drone display, followed immediately by a fireworks finale.

No driving. No parking. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the journey - perfect if you've settled onto your pitch for your holiday or simply don't fancy tackling Cornwall's winding country lanes!

Find out more about both trips in our latest blog: www.polmanter.com/lands-end-bus-trips-from-polmanter/

🎟️ Adult, £10 | Children (5-15), £5 | Under 5s, free

Last Saturday we were proud to sponsor the 46th John Knill Celebrations - one of St Ives' most cherished and historic traditions.

Many of our guests will recognise the iconic Knill Monument standing high above St Ives Bay, but not everyone knows the story behind it. John Knill was a former Mayor of St Ives who built the monument in the late 1700s and left instructions for a special ceremony to be held every five years – a tradition that has continued for more than 200 years.

As a family business that's been part of the St Ives community for over 50 years, we're always proud to support events that celebrate our town's rich heritage and community.

Thank you to St Ives Town Council Cornwall for putting on such a wonderful event, alongside all the other organisers, volunteers and performers 👏
