1. Go coasteering

Thought water-based adventures were just for the summer months? Think again!

2. Get your skates on

Whether you whizz, inch or tumble your way around the glittering ice skating rink at the Eden Project, you’ll be doing it with a huge smile-till-your-jaw-aches grin.

This is one for the whole family to enjoy and, courtesy of Eden’s legendary magic, is a NYE’s activity you’ll be revisiting year after year.

3. Experience the last sunset of 2025

Sunsets in Cornwall are pretty special. Seeing the horizon ablaze in a mesmerising mix of red, gold and orange is a must-do experience whatever the date. But when it’s the last sunset of the year, the wow-rating sky rockets.

Grab a spot anywhere along the north Cornish coast and you’re in for a treat, but for the best view in the house Watergate Bay and St Agnes Beacon are hard to beat.

4. Enjoy a sauna session

To prepare for the new year, relax with a rejuvenating session in Escape to the Sauna’s new harbourside location, open from 10am until 4pm.

Perched on The Greenbank’s private quay, this Scandinavian-style sauna offers the ultimate relaxation experience, complete with sweeping sea views and the option of a refreshing dip in the ocean (for those brave enough).

Step into serenity
