The Run to the Sun festival made a return to Newquay in 2023, after a decade-long break. The original festival, which started as a classic car rally, ran in Newquay between 1988 and 2013. For years it was one of the biggest events in Cornwall - attracting Volkswagen and custom car enthusiasts from across the country.

RTTS 2024 tickets are limited and expected to sell out quickly, so plan ahead to secure your spot at this unique automotive festival. It's a chance to enjoy a slice of Cornwall's vibrant culture and history, a perfect addition to your Cornish adventure.
