Celebrate Newquay with us
Unleash Your Creative Spirit
We are proud to partner with local artist, Andy Pearce and Experience Newquay as part of the Be Newquay Festival in November.
As our artist in residence, Andy will be sketching and painting in various spaces around the hotel and on the beach throughout the month, and hosting sketching workshops and open studio sessions.
Don’t miss a visit to Saltwalls Gallery, which Andy launched in 2020. This independent gallery has grown into a creative hub featuring Andy's own coastal-inspired paintings, alongside works from other local talents. With original art, fine prints, ceramics, and more, the gallery is a must-see during the festival.
