Your autumn getaway starts here
Looking for a reason to escape to Looe this September or October? We’ve got three.
The beginning of autumn in Cornwall is a magical time. The beaches are a bit quieter, the evenings are tinged with golden light, and the air feels fresh with the promise of autumn. In Looe, just a short hop from The Vale, September and early October bring not only beautiful scenery but also a line-up of community events that make this season feel extra special. From food and music to literature and inspiration, here’s why your next Cornish escape belongs in the diary.
1. Looe Food & Drink Festival – 14th September
Celebrate Cornwall’s flavours with Looe Food & Drink Festival 2025 – a festival that’s all about good food, good company, and seaside charm. Wander through stalls brimming with local produce, try fresh bites, and watch the incredible line up of chefs cook up a storm. With a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect day out – from your base at The Vale, for food lovers and curious grazers alike.
2. Looe Weekender – 19th to 21st September
Time your stay at The Vale towards the end of September and enjoy three days of FREE live music, dancing, and coastal energy – which all bring the town to life at the Looe Weekender. Whether you’re here for the live bands, the tipples, or just the feel-good vibes, this event is all about letting go and soaking up the atmosphere. Set against the backdrop of Looe’s harbour, it’s a festival where the sea air feels as much a part of the experience as the music itself.
3. Looe Festival of Words – 1st to 5th October
For a slower-paced escape with a creative twist, the Festival of Words offers something truly unique. Enjoy author talks, take part in inspiring workshops, and connect with stories and ideas that linger long after your visit. It’s the perfect way to blend relaxation with a touch of culture during your stay at The Vale, Looe.
Stay at The Vale this autumn
At Ohana Mua, we believe in good times for all. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, The Vale is your perfect base for exploring Looe in autumn. Our spacious eco-conscious lodges offer everything you need to unwind after a day of fun – from woodland trails and private hot tubs to cosy living spaces designed for slowing down.
All that’s left to do is arrive, exhale, and enjoy your autumn Cornish escape.
