Helford Hightide Gatherings
High tides and warm summer nights are a match made in heaven for us here on the Helford.
During the summer we combine the two to cook up a series of special early evening gatherings down at our foreshore. You can explore the river on a boat trip, a SUP or kayak adventure then sit back with a drink and pizza as you watch the tide slowly drop. We have the fire lit and the beers chilled.
