What’s on... in Cornwall
April March
St Pirans Day 5th March St Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall. Legend says he was originally from Ireland, but was cast into the sea by the Irish king who was suspicious of his miraculous powers. Surviving stormy seas he landed in Perranporth where he built an oratory, still preserved today, to promote Christianity.
Each year parades are held throughout Cornwall to celebrate their patron saint with one of the largest being at Lemon Quay in Truro.

Cornwall Spring Flower Show 5th - 6th April All Cornish gardens are jam packed with a profusion of colourful flowers and plants, even in the winter the climate is mild enough for buds to appear in January. By the time spring rolls round the Cornish are itching to get back to their gardening which is one of the reasons why the Cornwall Flower Show is one of the first held in the country!
Held in the beautiful grounds of Boconnoc House, owned by the Fortescue family, the Cornwall Spring Flower Show hosts competitive classes which produce some of the most breath-taking and exuberant floral displays around. Alongside the show there will also be a ‘question time’ for gardeners, like music and plenty of local food and flora to purchase.

Trevithick Day 26th April It’s the day of the year when local engineering genius and inventor Richard Trevithick (1771-1833) gets the recognition he deserves, and Camborne celebrates its importance as a major player in Cornwall’s former mining industry. Lots of spluttering steam engines, singing, dancing, buskers, clowns, musicians and more.
