The main festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday, May 27-28, with the usual quirky, arty, nature-based and family fun activities. There’ll be stalls, live music, a seashore safari, sand art, nature walks and talks, a dog show, and of course puffins.
Of course, food and refreshments will be needed to keep the energy levels up so here are the top cafes, restaurants and takeaways in the town according to Google.
