A beautiful journey that blends traditional storytelling with modern language.

"Leaping salmon, fishtail women, mythical raves & sacred springs…"

We are really looking forward to welcoming Corinne Harragin back to the chapel this coming week. When Corinne visited us with Tam Lin a few years ago it was a really special night - what a treat!

"I was transported somewhere really beautiful and enchanting."

Squashbox Theatre has a brand new show - and it's unlike anything Craig has done before!

Secrets of the Hidden Realm opens the archives of a mysterious Camborne organisation and asks: what exactly has been living in Cornwall's hidden dimension?

The answer involves puppetry, folklore, and a fair amount of absurd comedy.

Friday 19 June, 7pm. Trevow Chapel, Helston. Tickets from £5. Recommended age 10+

There are only 4 more days to find all of Bobo's giant seedlings around Helston!

We've seen lots of lovely local families taking part across the town (thanks everyone!) - it's free to do and great for children of all ages. Pick up a trail sheet from shops across town, find the seedlings and collect your free prize from Lakeside Cafe at Coronation Park Helston!
