What's on in Carn Arthen

Cornwall, England

Coffee mornings that serve actual decent coffee. Quiz nights that get genuinely competitive (yes, even question 7). Markets where you'll find something better than the supermarket. Carn Arthen doesn't do things by halves — check what's on this week and see for yourself. We're talking book clubs that actually finish the book, bingo nights that get surprisingly rowdy, film screenings in village halls with seats older than your grandad. The sort of events where half the entertainment is seeing who else shows up. No pretence, no airs and graces, just good local stuff happening near you.

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.
