A Taste of What’s Next
As the year opens up ahead of us, we’re already clocking the moments, flavours and ideas we can’t wait to lean into. The things that pull us out of the office, spark conversations, and feed the work we love to do. Because if the past year taught us anything, it’s that inspiration rarely comes from sitting still.
2026 is shaping up to be a good one.
We’re looking forward to long festival days and late nights. To brands doing things properly. To places opening their doors (or reopening them with a fresh lick of paint). To food that stops you mid-conversation. And to a few well-earned adventures further afield.
Here’s what’s on our radar.
Frozen martinis in the sun – festival season done right, glass in hand. Thoughtful cultural projects that invite people to pause, reflect and see things a little differently. New food spots opening their doors in St Ives, where brunch, matcha and atmosphere matter just as much as what’s on the plate. The careful freshening-up of a long-standing beach café – one of those places that’s woven into the fabric of a town. And bold, punchy street food concepts that don’t shy away from flavour or character.
We’re also excited for a calendar peppered with events – from intimate seasonal feast nights in the countryside to delightfully off-piste waterside après sessions. The kind of gatherings that feel considered, generous and just a bit special. And the familiar joy of festivals returning – including St Ives Food Festival, where food, fire and chefs do what they do best.
Beyond the work, there’s travel on the cards. A few of us will be swapping the Cornish coastline for further-flung inspiration – Bali, Australia, Japan, the Dolomites.
Closer to home, we’re also feeling a shift in the wider landscape. Marketing isn’t just an add-on anymore – it’s where brands live or die. That’s where Meor is continuing to grow: joining the dots between brand, content and marketing in a way that actually moves the needle. Less noise. More intent. Better results.
Looking ahead, we’re excited for a year shaped by good taste, in every sense of the word. By brands that know who they are. By work that earns attention, not demands it. And by moments that remind us why we do this in the first place.
Here’s to 2026. We’re ready.
