HELSTON AIR DAY

Make a date for the 29th July and RNAS Culdrose Air Day.  A fantastic day out and an opportunity to pay respects to the flying heroes who show such skill and bravery, as evidenced during the Boscastle Flood.

HELSTON FLORA DAY

Helston Flora Day is famous for its Furry Dance. The local townsfolk dress in their best Victorian finery and dance through the town - and shops and houses too!  A spectacle everyone should see at least once.
