Families are invited to take part in the second Huer to Harbour Pilchard Run. The event will begin at the Huer’s Hut (King Edward Crescent) and participants will be able to run or walk from there through Newquay town centre, onto Towan Beach before finishing at the mouth of Newquay Harbour. You are all invited to dress in shiny clothing (or a fish outfit should you have one!) to represent pilchards, highlighting the historical importance that fishing has had to the town of Newquay.
