Celebrate 45 years of Cornwall Hospice at The Great Cornish Cream Tea! 

On Saturday 19 September 2026, join us for something bold, joyful and unmistakably Cornish. Thousands of people. Tonnes of jam (first) and cream. Gallons of tea. And one goal: to bring the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™️title for the Largest cream tea party home to Cornwall!

The Great Cornish Cream Tea is a celebration of everything Cornwall does best - community, generosity and shared moments - marking 45 years of Cornwall Hospice. Families, friends, neighbours, supporters and businesses will gather side by side at the Royal Cornwall Showground, ready to become world record breakers.

Cups will be raised, scones enjoyed and history made together. Expect an electric atmosphere as the countdown begins, the excitement builds, and thousands of people share the same unforgettable experience - all for an incredible local cause.

Every ticket helps make every moment matter. Your support enables Cornwall Hospice to provide compassionate, specialist end of life care for people across Cornwall, and for the families and carers who support them - when it matters most.
