Conjure up a Fantastic New Years Fancy Dress Costume

There are a few places where we highly recommend you search for your fancy dress costumes: 

• Trawl through the towns charity shops – they tend to save up some really good items which make for the perfect New Years fancy dress outfit.

• You can normally hire/purchase costumes from the St Ives Operatic Society a couple of days before New Years. They are normally located within the St Ives Backpackers Hall on The Stennack.

• Fancy dress shops in Penzance – these can be found on Market Jew Street and Causeway Head.
