Discover What’s On In Cornwall In February 2026

Written by Rosie Cattrell

Bracing sea air, galleries and talks to duck into, harbour views that make you slow down, and a calendar that feels curated rather than chaotic. If you’re staying at The Greenbank this February, you’re perfectly placed for culture, gardens, and a few winter-only experiences that feel like a secret.

1st February: Winter on St Michael’s Mount

Where: St Michael’s Mount

Winter is when the Mount feels most magical – gentler, calmer, and wonderfully atmospheric. The island reopens on 1st February, and it’s a brilliant day out for anyone who loves history, sea views, and a bit of drama in the landscape.
