LAFTA presents "FAULT" - an original play by Tamara Stidwell.
2024-08-28 19:30 - 20:00, 2024-08-29 19:30 - 20:00, 2024-08-30 19:30 - 20:00
“A play about the power of laying your ghosts to rest…”
This original play written and directed by Tamara Stidwell is set on a Cornish beach-house overlooking Kennack Sands.
Exploring love, grief and redemption through poetry, film, and of course, Cornish humour, delve into a night of deliciously daft & (sometimes) deep drama that is bound to kick up the dust.
Kenza Trewin has returned to her childhood home Wild Acres. After renting out the spare room she meets her new lodger, a strange steam-punk man who goes by the name Mr Skins. But he hasn’t come here by mistake, he was sent here by those cheeky sprites! But what is he doing on that bicycle cracking into the stones late at night? And why is her neighbour Janet suddenly calling herself Janet of the Granite (and not just because of her lovely set of boulders)?
As film flickers through the kitchen window, we reminisce with Kenza on her childhood spent with her beloved late brother Bobby. As we get under the skin of The Lizard and crack through the fault lines, we learn how to forgive our faults and finally lay our ghosts to rest.
We are excited to announce that the performance dates for our 2024 show ‘FAULT’ will be:
· Wednesday 28th August
· Thursday 29th August
· Friday 30th August
At 7:30 pm, The Temple Tent, Kynance Camping.

Helston Flora Day
2025-05-08 07:00 - 17:00 | Helston
This ancient festival is usually held on 8th May. A spring festival to celebrate the end of winter and mark the arrival of the new vitality and fertility with the trees and flowers bursting into life. The houses and shops of the town are decorated with greenery and floral arrangements to express the spirit of renewal.
When the big bass drum strikes the first beat of the dance at seven in the morning, the spirit of the day is stirred and the celebrations commence. Couples dance through the streets, entering selected houses and shops to drive out the darkness of winter and bring in the light of spring.
The colourful pageant, known as Hal an Tow, tells the history of Helston with the participating characters singing about the challenge of the Spanish Armada, the English patron saint, St. George and the fight between St. Michael and the devil.
