Local energy, community spirit and future potential will collide on Friday 16th May as the town comes together for Empowering Newquay’s Future, a unique and exciting event set to take place at Newquay Community Orchard.
Organised by local volunteers, educators, and changemakers, this grassroots initiative aims to spark inspiration, ambition, and real opportunity for young people—and it’s calling on the whole community to be part of the experience.
From 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, students from Treviglas Academy and Newquay Tretherras School will be attending an immersive experience of workshops, live demonstrations, and engaging showcases from local employers and public can also attend during the day. But from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM the site will be less busy, so we encourage members of the public who can to attend the event after 3pm where possible, although you will be welcome at any time if daytime suits you better.
More Than a Careers Fair
Unlike traditional careers events, Empowering Newquay’s Future promises interaction, inspiration, and connection. Attendees will be able to get hands-on with tools of the trade, try out creative activities, speak directly with employers, and discover what makes Newquay’s businesses such exciting places to work.
From surf startups and sustainable food businesses to trades, tourism, health, and tech—this event showcases the diversity and talent of Newquay’s economy.
“This is about more than jobs. It’s about showing young people—and the whole community—that there are real, exciting futures here in Newquay,” said Liz Wright, Newquay Town Councllior. “It’s a space for inspiration, creativity, and building pride in what we do locally.”
