Saturday 31 October 2026. One event listing gives 1.30pm and says the show was rescheduled from 30 October. A ticket reseller lists 7pm for the same date. Those cannot both be right, so confirm the start time with the Hall for Cornwall box office on 01872 262466 before you plan dinner or the drive home.
A folk group from Port Isaac who formed as the "buoy band", singing sea songs together on the harbour for around 30 years. Their album Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends went Gold and made them the first traditional folk act to reach the UK top ten. The 2019 film Fisherman's Friends told their story. If you want to see them in Port Isaac, our Port Isaac shanty weekend guide and Christmas in Port Isaac guide cover the home-turf events, and the sea shanty festivals guide lists the rest.
The event listing does not show a price. A third-party reseller lists tickets from £136, with a note that prices change daily. Resale prices are not face value, so go to the venue's own box office first. The same reseller lists Russell Howard's 21 November show at Hall for Cornwall from £99, for ages 14 and over, which shows how reseller prices run well above many box office prices.
Hall for Cornwall is at Back Quay, Truro TR1 2LL, with 4.7 from 2,141 Google reviews. Reviewers like the building, the staff and the seating, though some warn about restricted views from the top balcony. Check your seat view before you buy. There is a venue cafe, and a pub across the pedestrian area. Our Truro parking guide explains where to leave the car. On Halloween weekend, plan to arrive early.
Ticket sites list a run of shows through November, including Richard Ayoade, The Amy Winehouse Band, Tony Hadley's Christmas Big Band Tour and Russell Howard. We could not read the venue's own programme, and some of the dates come from reseller listings, so check them on the Hall for Cornwall site before booking. The Christmas season continues with the Dick Whittington panto.
If the show is at 1.30pm, you have the evening to spare, and the other way round. Use our Truro pasty guide for a quick meal. Truro's Christmas season starts shortly after, and our Truro Christmas guide and Truro city of lights guide plan those evenings. Halloween plans for children are in the Halloween in Cornwall guide. The Truro town page has more.

Yes. The venue's accessibility page says there is step-free access to every level of Hall for Cornwall and the Cornwall Playhouse, where most big touring shows are staged.
Because the start time for this show is unclear, ask the box office to confirm it when you book access seats.
The nearest car park is Garras Wharf (TR1 2TN). It has 19 disabled bays, according to the venue, though Google reviewers rate it only 3.2 from 99 reviews. Comments mention that it fills quickly and that the pay machines are confusing, so allow a few minutes at the machine. Check the payment options on the day.
From Garras Wharf you use a subway with a slope up to Lemon Quay, then go through Tinners Court or by the Pannier Market to Princes Street and Boscawen Street. Tinners Court is closed in the evening, so you may have to divert via Green Street or Lemon Street. That matters if the show is at 7pm and ends in the dark.
Cornwall Council car parks offer £2 overnight parking after 4pm, according to the venue. Limited Blue Badge bays are on Boscawen Street and Lemon Street. Passengers can be dropped off on Boscawen Street by the Playhouse Bar entrance.
The park and ride sites at Langarth and Tregurra are listed as open from 06:30 to 20:30, which is no use if the show finishes later. If you take the train, remember that Truro station is on a hill west of the city centre. Our Truro parking guide has more options.
The venue has its own cafe, but if you want a sit-down meal, these places are all a short walk away and have good Google ratings. Opening hours below are the usual Saturday hours on Google, not Halloween-specific.
It is Halloween night, so book early and tell the restaurant what time your show starts. If your show is the 1.30pm listing, lunch beforehand works better than dinner. Our Truro pasty guide covers quick options.
