Its time for the St Ives September Festival in .......St Ives.

These days, St Ives is better known for the Arts than the huge fishing fleet it once supported, and nothing exemplifies that better than the Tate Gallery.....
which capture the market catered for today, namely persuading tourists to part with their cash for art and craft, gifts and food.....
support for the arts comes from all directions including the town's best known pub, The Sloop Inn on the harbour front.....
while round the back streets the famous, but now dilapidated Porthmeor Studios are hoping to take advantage of the thousands that will fill the town starting next weekend for its celebration of the Arts.....

part way through this clip, renowned net setter and ex-fisherman 'Bish' makes his contribution to help preserve a building that has served the local fishermen since the last century by providing a covered building in which to make and set gear.
