They may join sports clubs such as golf, tennis, or sailing clubs, which are popular in the coastal town. Art clubs and workshops are also popular, given St Ives' reputation as an artists' haven. Expats may also participate in local community events and festivals, such as the St Ives September Festival, a two-week celebration of music and arts, or the annual St Ives Food and Drink Festival. These events provide excellent opportunities to meet locals and other expats alike. Volunteering is another way expats meet people in St Ives.
