We’re bringing the party to town with a free kids’ disco hosted by DJ Beaker, packed with great music, dancing and an afternoon of seaside-themed fun.

With this year’s theme inspired by the coast, it’s the ideal warm-up to the UK Surf & Skate Expo, which returns to Newquay across the weekend of 25th & 26th July.

As part of the celebrations, we’re excited to be teaming up with 10 Over Surf Shop and the UK Surf & Skate Expo to bring a free fancy dress competition to the School’s Out Disco, with fantastic prizes up for grabs, kindly donated by 10 Over Surf Shop.

Come dressed to impress and you could win in one of five categories:

  • Brightest Outfit
  • Coolest Surfer Style
  • Ultimate Beach Fit
  • Most Creative Outfit
  • Best Summer Accessory (hats, sunglasses, etc.)


Good to know before you go:

• Free to attend and enter the fancy dress competition, no tickets required
• All children must be accompanied by an adult
