Lusty Glaze events
Lusty Glaze is a private cove on the east side of Newquay that becomes a music venue in summer, with a stage and bars on the sand. Here is what is on sale, how the nights work and what the venue's own rules say.
What's on
Dates and times come from the venue's Ticket Tailor pages. Prices only show at checkout, so we have not listed them.
Tickets are sold as non-refundable. Check the date and the age rule on the ticket page before you pay.
How the nights work
The big shows are ticketed and run through the afternoon and evening. Music stops at 11pm, so plan a second stop in town if you want a later night.
The venue calls its sunset music nights the Sundowner Sessions. The headline shows need a ticket. The weekly shows are free, and the venue's own calendar lists them.
The restaurant shuts on event days. Bars and takeaway food stalls open for ticket holders instead.
Before you buy a ticket
Everyone needs a ticket
Children need their own ticket. Only babies in arms go free.
Under-18s come with an adult
Most ticketed events are family friendly, but under-18s must be with an adult. The bars run Challenge 24, so take photo ID.
No food or drink
Ticketed events do not allow your own food, drink or alcohol, apart from bottles of water, unless the event page says otherwise.
Leave the chairs
Chairs are not allowed at ticketed events unless the event page says otherwise.
Leave the dog at home
Dogs are welcome on the beach all year, but the large events are not dog friendly.
Dress for the weather
It is an open beach. The venue's advice on rain is to check the forecast and dress for it.
Getting there and back
The only way down is 133 steps, with a handrail on one side and places to rest. There is no ramp or lift, and the beach has no accessible toilets.
The pay and display car park on Lusty Glaze Road is next to the entrance. It is a public car park, not the venue's. It charges all year and has a 2.2 metre height limit. The venue asks people to walk or use public transport where they can.
Everyone leaves at once when the music stops at 11pm. Book a taxi before the night, or allow time for the walk back into town. Our Lusty Glaze beach guide covers the beach itself.
