Description

Lostwithiel Town Band dates back to around 1885 and practices in the beautiful Cornish stannary town of Lostwithiel. Although currently in the national fourth section, the band aspires to greatness but with a strong conviction that banding should be a hobby to be thoroughly enjoyed.

The current band, under the leadership of Norman Pendray, has more than 20 members who get together on Monday and Thursday evenings to practice, learn new pieces and socialise. We undertake over 30 events per year throughout Cornwall.

We played on the Quayside to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall in Fowey earlier this year and joined the Bodmin War Museum for an evening of the Last Night of the Proms.

Description

Dating back to the early 18th century, The Ship Inn is a splendid old building that, as well as being found in the main road through the village, also lies close to the sandy beaches of St Austell Bay.

Owned and personally run by local publicans, Chris and Linda, this large establishment has plenty to offer both locals and visitors alike.

The interior of this charming old inn is as full of character as its age would suggest and, along with the original ceiling beams, many other features have withstood the test of time.

From the inviting bar visitors can enjoy a variety of quality ales (we are in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide), with many beers from local breweries, as well as draught lager, cider and spirits.

Outside too there is much for the inn's customers: to the side and rear are well maintained gardens where there is there a bandstand, and also a play area for children.
