A family fun run was held on Saturday to celebrate Newquay’s fishing heritage.

More than 250 people took part in the Huer to Harbour Pilchard Run, which was organised by Trenance Learning Academy.

They jogged the mile-long route from the iconic Huer’s Hut, along King Edward Crescent and Fore Street before arriving at Towan Beach. Many runners wore fancy dress for the occasion, which included pilchards and crabs.

There was lots of community spirit at the event ( )

The harbour came alive with a vibrant family fun day, packed with lively stalls, football games, dancing and live music. Newquay Samba Band and Trenance school choir were among the acts who performed throughout the day.

Newquay Fire Station attended with one of its appliances for people to have a look around.

A spokesperson for Trenance Learning Academy said: “The community spirit was alive and thriving for the Huer to Harbour Pilchard Run.
