What's on in Burras

Cornwall, England

Burras sits tucked away in Cornwall where the sea air keeps things breezy and the local calendar stays busy without needing a single big venue to shout about. We usually find plenty of family fun near the coast, maybe some live music in a nearby village hall, or just a good chat at a community centre. It is a quiet place that punches well above its weight for weekend plans. Pub quizzes drift through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting down here. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you are not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening while wondering if anyone actually knows what's on later this month.

Your Story, Your Art

A new creative programme for teens Led by Open The Box Arts (13+) Saturday 10am-1pm 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. Want in? Sign up here 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.
