What's on in Goonpiper

Cornwall, England

Goonpiper sits snug in Cornwall with a name that sounds like it belongs on a pirate map rather than a tourist brochure. We keep an eye out for local gigs and community gatherings so you don't have to wander the cliffs looking for entertainment. The village has a quiet charm that makes even a rainy afternoon feel like part of the plan. Near Here tracks down what's going on nearby without needing you to check a dozen other websites on a Sunday evening.

Squidlets

Squidlets is a friendly and fun group for 0-4 year olds and their parents/carers run by Falmouth Vineyard Church. We aim to offer energetic sessions to stimulate little minds and encourage creative play in an environment where exploration and mess is encouraged (think gloop, mud, paint, water and more!). The session always ends with a music/song time around 11am. We meet every Thursday during term time at the Princess Pavilion's in Falmouth. The sessions run from 9.45am – 11.15am. We meet outside (under cover of the veranda), only moving indoors in extreme weather! There are always a couple of new activities each week for the children to explore. Things can get messy so do wear old clothes. You may want to bring a drink and a snack for your little one. Coffee and cake is available (and highly recommended!) from the Pavilion's café for parents/carers. Why not bring along a reusable cup with a lid - it helps reduce waste and is safer for your children. The group is run by volunteers from Falmouth Vineyard Church. We are passionate about supporting parents and seeing kids thrive. We don't charge for our session, as we want to ensure Squidlets is accessible to all and we see it as an expression of our love for the community.

Building Trelissick trail at Trelissick

This year we’re celebrating the story of Trelissick house from farmhouse to countryside estate in the new exhibition ‘Building Trelissick’. Try your hand at a series of activities that bring this story to life. You’ll design your own coat of arms, find your ideal career on the Trelissick estate and play games in the winding paths of the garden. Between 27 and 31 May the Victorian Falconers will be found on the West Lawn to demonstrate how the Victorians revived the ancient art of hawking for modern times. There’ll be flying demonstrations daily at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. When they’re not flying, you’ll be able to see the birds quietly at rest in the traditional Hawk Mews, open 10am-4.30pm. Pick up a free trail sheet from the welcome team to help you explore. Admission to Trelissick applies, dogs on short leads are welcome on the trail route.

Building Trelissick: from farmhouse to riverside estate

Following the popularity of the Honor Budden exhibition Building Trelissick will now start on the later date of 30 April. Trelissick has evolved from a modest farmhouse into a distinguished riverside estate, shaped by the families who lived and worked here. In a new exhibition in the West Library we explore the story of Trelissick house through the evolution of the building’s architecture. This is a free exhibition, admission to Trelissick applies.
