The recreation and environment charity will be hosting a Community Fair at Siblyback Lake, near Liskeard, from 10am to 3pm on Sunday 14 June 2026. 

Entry and car parking are free, although it is essential to pre-book your car ticket as parking is limited. 

Peruse craft and trade stalls, enjoy local food and drink from Olive & Co. cafe, follow the nature trail and have a go at pond dipping. Enjoy exploring the countryside and wildlife around the lake, whilst the kids can discover the play area. 

Confirmed exhibitors include Canicross UK, who will be running have-a-go sessions and a fun dog show. There will be talks on Dark Sky Landscapes and Wheal Martyn Clay Works will be providing clay sculpting. Cornwall Search and Rescue and Cornwall Birds will also be attending, alongside musical performers and many other local businesses and stall holders. 

There will also be the opportunity to get out on the water with paddleboards, kayaks and canoes available to hire, as well as fly fishing taster sessions.

Head of Fisheries Leon Fisher said: “Siblyback Lake offers an idyllic location to get outdoors and get active, whether that be walking, running, cycling, fishing or watersports. It’s so peaceful, but there is always plenty to get involved in. 

“We’re looking forward to showing visitors everything that Siblyback Lake has to offer and to make it a truly memorable day out we’ve invited lots of local sellers and other organisations to join us to get the whole community involved.”
