Things to do

On Christmas morning, hundreds of intrepid swimmers from across Cornwall and beyond will go for a refreshing dip in the sea to help raise money for the Northern Hemisphere’s oldest Surf Life Saving Club at Crooklets Beach, Bude.This year the organisers of the Mike Moyle Memorial Swim are aiming for their biggest ever turnout, setting a target of 600 sponsored swimmers from all age groups. Organised by the Bude Surf Life Saving Club, the community-spirited act of madness is rapidly growing as a spectator event, making Bude seafront remarkably busy on Christmas morning with thousands of spectators and well-wishers lining the beaches and cliff tops.Grin and bare it!
