What's on in Porkellis

Cornwall, England

Share:

Porkellis sits snug in Cornwall with a name that suggests a certain culinary focus, though we promise there is plenty more to find than just meat at the Star Inn. The town has been turning out some serious local talent for years, and you can usually spot a comedy night or a family-friendly gathering on the calendar without needing to ask twice. We keep things simple here so you do not have to waste time hunting across a dozen different sites for what is going on next weekend. Just drop into the Star Inn when they are hosting an event, or pop by the library if the little ones need a story before dinner. It really is that easy to plan your evening without feeling like you are trying to solve a puzzle.

Your Story, Your Art

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.
