St Ives is a pretty market town full of independent shops
Gilly Jackson is chairman of Festival Events St Ives and editor of the St Ives Now magazine, and she is also very involved in promoting the town and making sure there is plenty going on and things for people to do. “We organise up to 20 events each year normally, but, of course, we haven't been able to do so in the lockdown period, so we are hoping to start again, maybe with some events in July and music on The Waits. “Also then again at Christmas, we will do something along the lines of an arts festival and have a children's a grotto and Santa coming into town.
