In addition, the Fishermans Arms has Beer Festivals, Winter Quiz Nights, a Fete, themed nights and other events through the year.
Some regular events are listed below, and described further down the page. Click on any event will take you to the description.
Golant has a long history of apple growing. The vigorous and musical (?) wassail is to encourage our apple trees to bear fruit and encourage people to get out of bed and celebrate the New Year
The GRADS (Golant Really Amateur Dramatics) group puts on a pantomime every second year, with a Revue of comedy sketches, handbells, music etc. in the alternate year.
Easter celebrations down in the village commence with an egg hunt on Good Friday, followed by a spectacular Sunday celebration of eggs and hats.
Boatwatch Flotillas – June and August
Twice a year, the boat owners and their guests take to the water together for a celebratory Boatwatch patrol to Fowey, followed by a rafted picnic on the water.
A well supported opportunity for village residents, their family and friends to show off their horticultural and crafting skills.
St Sampsons Church holds a Sea Sunday service down close to the water, involving them assed ranks of our heavenly choir and harmonious Handbells.
Sports, stalls, tea and cakes, and fancy dress on the Village Green in the summer sun (we hope….).
Water-based competitive craziness at high tide in the Pill
Cornish Christmas at the Church
A celebration of Cornish writing and music with readings from Cornish authors, handbells and carols.
An annual Christmas Market, usually involving The Fishermans Arms, Bar Silo and the Village Hall.
An annual tradition, where long standing villagers and newcomers can get together for a chat, drink and nibbles in the Village Hall.
In winter, the waters of Golant Pill are lined with boats, and we brighten the darkest months by illuminating them.
