Hurling at St Ives, Cornwall
The annual St. Ives hurling match happens on Feast Monday each February. The game starts at 10.30am when the silver ball is thrown from the wall of the Parish Church by the Mayor to the crowd below on the beach. The ball is passed from one to another on the beach and then up into the streets of St Ives. The person in possession of the ball when the clock strikes noon takes it to the Mayor at the Guildhall and receives the traditional reward of five shillings. At one time the game was played by the men of the village. These days it is played by the children - Cornwall in focus
St. Ives Feast Day
St Ives Feast Day falls on Monday 6th February and begins with a civic procession at 9.30am from the Guildhall lead by the St Ives Guisers and featuring local schoolchildren and other organisations. The procession goes through the town for a blessing at St Ives Well and back to the Parish Church gardens where the ancient hurling of the silver ball is re-enacted. The annual distribution of pennies takes place after the return of the silver ball at noon.
