Leopallooza Festival in Bude
The Wyldes Week St Mary, near Bude, North Cornwall
Leopallooza is a small one day festival, held since 2006, which happens at Week St Mary, near Bude, in North Cornwall at the end of July. This event is billed as a place where live music, tents, alcohol, good good people, sausages, sun, mud, burning cars, appreciation of the north Cornish nation, cider, neon, power riffs, straw, rain, rumours, fields and portaloos collide. The  centrepiece is a car, which is loaded with wood and set on fire. It has had different guises. It's been a Zebra and the General Lee.
The festival site is built using reclaimed materials, wherever possible, making the handcrafted stages/bar/eatery unique and a welcome alternative to Formica and steel.
A crew of friends dedicated to the local music scene help build and maintain the festival site year round. They design the leaflets, organise the marketing and sell the tickets. They even work on the night and forego the partying (at least until later on.)

Bude-Stratton Heritage Day
The Castle Green and Lower Wharf EX23 8LG
FREE ENTRY
For a free and enjoyable family day you really mustn’t miss the ever popular Bude-Stratton Heritage Day on Sunday 7th August.

The annual celebration will take place as usual at town’s most significant building The Bude Castle, constructed by 19th Century Cornish inventor, Sir Goldsworthy Gurney and alongside the Bude Canal, famous for its series of incline planes and working sea lock.

It’s a day with something for everyone: miniature steam engines; classic cars; WWII military vehicles; yummy Cornish food stalls; music ranging from brass to folk to jazz; and children’s entertainments including Punch & Judy, a magician, a clown and face painting.

The Bude Canoe Club will be holding their Sprint Regatta again beginning at 2.00pm up at the Higher Wharf near the Tourist Information Centre.
Special interest stalls include the Cornish Language Partnership’ Trevithick Society, the Bude Branch of the RNLI, Bude Harbour and Canal Society and Bude Old Cornwall Society, Bude Canal Trust, Bude Horticultural Society, North Cornwall Model Railway Club and the RSPB.

Especially for children Raymond’s Amusements will be bringing several of their traditional fairground attractions including swing boats; hook-a-duck and roll-a-penny. And in the afternoon Phil Deeks, aka the clown, Passing Showers, will be holding a circus skills workshop.

Making their first ‘appearance’ at Heritage Day will be the Bude and North Cornwall Dog Training Group. The Group will be giving demonstrations of their own dog’s agility over a course on the Bark House Green. Members will also be happy to help members of the public who’d like to give their dog a ‘try-out’ over the course.

Also making their first appearance is a Cornish company with their new games sensation ‘Smite’. Featured on BBC Radio 2’s Chris Evans Show, ‘Smite’ is an entertaining game combining the skill and dexterity of boule with the cunning and guile of croquet. Though the game is based on a traditional northern European game, the home of Smite is near St. Neot. in South- East Cornwall and is very much Cornish based.

In the event of wet weather most stalls, performers and activities will be under cover in the nearby Parkhouse Centre EX23 8LD.

The event starts at 11am and continues until approximately 5.00pm

There are three paying car parks within sight of the event. Everyone is welcome and don’t forget the event is free.

“Besides the Seaside" 5th – 30th September Free entry

“Besides the Seaside” is an apt title of the forthcoming September in The Castle Bude, by the extremely talented members of Textile Plus.

The group was formed in 1992 by a number of like-minded Cornish artists, working in a wide variety of textile techniques including hand and machine embroidery, felt, weaving, patchwork and quilting, beadwork and jewellery, knitting, batik and textile book art. Inspiration and insight come from many sources; the natural world, visits to galleries and exhibitions and the latest techniques are shared with the group in workshops at the monthly meetings. Work is usually created in two-year cycles; the first year being one of sourcing inspiration and developing the ideas, the second is the working year with pieces being specifically created for the planned exhibition venue.
Entry to the exhibition is free. Opening times are 10am - 5pm, but you are advised that if you plan to come to see the exhibition phone 01288 357300 to make sure the rooms are not closed for a private function.
