What's on in Bolitho

Cornwall, England

From farmers' markets to craft fairs that'll actually have something you want to buy — Bolitho knows how to put on a do. We're talking proper local events here: quiz nights that get genuinely competitive, coffee mornings that serve actual decent coffee (not the instant stuff), and village fêtes that are surprisingly well organised. No stadium concerts or festivals that cost a week's wages, just the good stuff happening in village halls, community centres, and that one pub everyone knows about. We're here to make sure you don't miss any of it.

Your Story, Your Art

A new creative programme for teens Led by Open The Box Arts (11+) Monday 6pm-8pm Your Story, Your Art! A creative programme for teens aimed at bring young people together to amplify their voices and tell their stories about our town. Over three months, we’re bringing together a crew of young people from across Helston to co-create a workshop programme that you shape and lead. Think zine-making, storytelling, art, writing, and more — using professional materials, working with brilliant artists, and making something real together. The programme will end with a sharing and exhibition at The Basement on Saturday 13 June. No pressure. No auditions. Just good people, good creative work, and a place where you belong For Parents and Carers The Basement is a neutral, welcoming space in Helston town centre — not attached to any school or existing group — where young people aged 11–18 can meet, create, and build new friendships. This pilot project uses high-quality creative workshops to support confidence, wellbeing, and self-expression. Young people aren’t just participants — they help shape the programme itself, giving them a genuine voice and a real sense of ownership. Led by professional artists and makers, workshops are inclusive, safe, and designed to bring together young people from different backgrounds around shared creative goals. This group will meet on a mixture of Saturday mornings and Monday evenings. This is a pilot project.
