to the July issue of Cornwall Living

his month, from page 28, we take a look at Cornwall’s hottest events and festivals, offering culture vultures everything they could possibly ask for, from star-studded musical line-ups, to local foodie traditions that date back as far as the 1800s. Whatever your idea of a good time – be it with the little ones or revelling long into the night – there’s sure to be something going on this summer to pique your interest.

This issue has its own impressive line up of all-things Cornwall too, including a peek into some of the county’s hottest property (from page 35), ideas for your home (from page 51) and places to eat (from page 78), plus some of Cornwall’s best artists and galleries (page 96) and a host of exciting competitions (page 76).

Whether you live here or are planning a summer break, if you have a dog, you’ll surely agree with us when we say that life just isn’t the same when our furry friends are left at home. This is why, this month, we’ve created our dedicated Dogs Love Cornwall Living supplement (from page 87) to help you make the most of the Duchy with man’s best friend at your side.

Sunny exterior photos and light interior shots are essential. The kitchen is the heart of the home, so make sure it’s super tidy, clean and inviting. It’s also a good idea to remove personal photographs throughout the home, just for the shoot. Add fresh flowers to brighten up any room, and remove pet bowls edrooms and bathrooms can benefit from a good clean and tidy, and putting out fresh towels and bed linen is always a good idea.

did you know that they are incredible divers and can stay underwater for up to 45 minutes at a time?

our living room should be a haven of comfort and tranquillity, so clear and polish surfaces, and plump those cushions Finally, a welcoming entrance hall can do wonders, so be sure to de-clutter.

Kit Johns comes to the Summerhouse Gallery The Summerhouse Gallery is proud to present its one-man summer show of 2019, ‘Breaking Point’ by artist Kit Johns. Displaying stunning artwork like the one featured alongside this editorial, Kit’s work explores the wild and untamed nature of the Cornish landscape, using a variety of techniques and mediums on canvas, paper and authentic vintage Cornish maps. He has quickly evolved from a young ‘up-and-coming artist’ to an accomplished and well-known figure who has made waves in the world of Cornish landscape art. ‘Breaking Point’ aims to act as both a celebration of beauty and a reminder as we enter a period where the state of our environment hangs in the balance.

The show will open with a private viewing on Friday 12th July, with proceeds being donated to various Cornish environmental charities.

News & views Johnny’s simple suggestions

for positive change

Holiday home tips “Sometimes it’s not the big changes in your life that make a difference,” says Personal Trainer Johnny Lawrence. “It’s the small daily changes that make a huge impact and facilitate permanent change.”

Firstly, he suggests drinking more water, as it only takes being 2% dehydrated for you to feel fatigued and unmotivated. You should also aim to get a good night’s sleep. “Set a bedtime and a wake-up time every day. The average amount of sleep needed is eight hours.”

You should also be aware of how many calories you’re eating and aim to become more active. “Analyse your day and find ways to walk and move more.

Why not implement a regular exercise routine? This could include swimming, ogging, cycling, fitness classes, even simply walking the dog!”

Johnny believes it’s important to question your habits and behaviours too, to discover which ones work towards your goals and which ones work against them.

Things like not sitting in front of the TV until after 8pm will reduce the time you sit. Instead, go for a ten-minute walk.

If your goal is weight loss, Johnny suggests you start by reducing the calories in the meals you frequently eat. “And eat more protein! Protein is the building blocks for the body and is a must for keeping good muscle tone. Bulk your meals out with more vegetables, as they’re generally low in calories and very filling.

Finally, reduce your alcohol intake.

“Alcoholic drinks are extremely high in calories,” Johnny explains, “and they also weaken your resolve against over eating!”

In an ongoing series of holiday home tips, we hear from George at Cornish Traditional Cottages about how to save money managing your Cornish holiday let. s well as building up your profit through lots of bookings, you can also take steps to save on e penses and add to your profits that way. ne tip that George offers is to “keep it snug. Good insulation can save hundreds of pounds a year on heating bills, so when you’re carrying out a refurbishment, be sure to maximise insulation throughout. This includes the room, cavity walls, even windows and doors – ensuring they don’t let anything in our out unless they’re open.”

George continues: “You should pay extra for a longer warranty on appliances, as this can save you money in the long run. It’s also important to give guidelines to help streamline the changeover. Asking guests to tidy before they leave, put out the rubbish and place dirty towels in the bath – these can all help ease the work on changeover day. You should also be crystal clear on house rules, for instance, where guests can and can’t smoke; where pets are allowed. Be sure to state in your contract, too, that any heavy duty cleaning required after their stay will incur an extra fee.”

Finally, George stresses the importance of keeping on top of maintenance. “The longer you leave a problem, the more it costs to fi . Carry out a regular check after each stay and make a thorough inspection at regular intervals. As the old adage goes, ‘a stitch in time saves nine’!”

Live-in companions, on the other hand, are living in your home for weeks at a time, and are far cheaper than 24-hour care. “This means you get to know them, they know you, and they understand your needs and the support you require.

WAYLEA A stellar development opportunity just 400 yards off the beach, with planning permission for two detached houses.

urrently a detached bungalow with sea views, Waylea occupies a very highly sought-after location, just moments from the beach at Mawgan Porth. But it’s the detailed permission for two gorgeous, independent houses, sympathetic to their surroundings, that make this such an exciting opportunity for the discerning buyer.

With a contemporary approach to design, Gillespie Yunnie Architects have devised a bold, but sensitive, intervention to replace the original bungalow with a pair of independent detached dwellings, thus reinvigorating this under-utilised, and quite incredible location.

At approximately 2,938 square feet, the main four-bedroom house will provide ample, open-plan living space. Being slightly elevated, the upper ground floor will benefit from south westerly ocean views, while the lower level, configured in an ’ shape, will provide the bedroom accommodation and bathroom, also opening out onto a paved terrace and garden, perfect for sunny summer barbeques. With an external shower and surfboard rack to boot, this outside space will be a handy first port of call on your walk back from the beach!

The three bedroom cottage – the smaller of the two dwellings – will accommodate two en-suite bedrooms on the lower level, with

a third bedroom to the upper ground floor.

Again, a reverse level layout will afford the residence excellent coastal views. oth properties will benefit from fabulous, contemporary interiors, with floor-toceiling windows flooding them with light and really capitalising on that oceanic vista.

All of this, plus a double garage and forecourt parking for the main residence, and parking for two for the smaller cottage, plus landscaped gardens above and below.

This is an unprecedented opportunity for anyone dreaming of building a home by the sea, so if that sounds like you, be sure to contact the team at Jackie Stanley.

ased in the bustling seaside town of Falmouth on Cornwall’s south coast, you’ll find the arding and Wakefield o ce, nestled happily amidst a variety of boutique businesses, restaurants and coffee shops on the eclectic ld igh treet ust moments from the harbour front. It’s easy to see why irectors amuel arding and en Wakefield have chosen to base the o ce here, as it’s a great location from which to market the area s property and market the beauty of Falmouth when clients come in to visit. o, it comes as no surprise to us that holiday letting company, spects olidays, is oining the team in the Falmouth o ce full time. fter all, who wouldn’t be tempted by the plethora of restaurants, coffee shops and sea views right on the doorstep We hear from spects olidays roperty Manager, Rebecca Nenning, who tells us: We’re e cited to have teamed up with arding and Wakefield state gents as we can now offer a one stop shop solution. ebecca has a varied background in the tourism and hospitality industry, and has recently oined the spects olidays team to cover the Falmouth area as part of their continued growth and e pansion. Falmouth is in fact spects’ seventh o ce location, adding to its already impressive collection of o ces across the uchy, in ude, ew uay, evagissey, ayle, en ance and t Ives.

Commercial irector, andy pencer, adds For us, Falmouth was the obvious ne t port of call. It comfortably bridges the gap between our en ance and evagissey o ces, and offers property owners a convenient local contact to discuss the letting of their property as well as providing guests with another fantastic location to book their holiday with us.

The combination of an estate agents and letting agency is a match made in heaven – providing all of your property needs under one roof and meaning that whether you’re interested in buying, selling or renting, you know that there will be an e pert on hand to discuss the options with you. ere at Cornwall Living, we’re e cited to see where this collaboration between two leading property enterprises in Cornwall will lead, but one thing’s certain – it’s sure to be a success.

loping ceilings, exposed beams and stone walls might look great in the bedroom of a Cornish farmhouse or fisherman’s cottage, but it’s almost impossible to buy freestanding wardrobes to fit the odd corner shapes and angles created by these architectural features. The RRW hopfitting and Interiors team are helping clients embrace their awkward Cornish corners with lovable quality, made-tomeasure wardrobe installations.

Founded in 2014, RRW manufactures and installs high end, made-to-measure fitted and freestanding furniture for private and commercial clients across the south west.

This means as well as the standard materials, they offer a range of finishes not normally offered by other fitted furniture providers.

W’s local manufacturing facilities allow for millimetre perfect furniture, and swift and tidy onsite installation, with the added security of exceptional and responsive aftersales care, if required.

Providing everything from wardrobes and multimedia units, to shelving units and bookcases, every project is made to measure and truly bespoke. The company utilises the spaces as e ciently as possible, achieving functional spaces with even the most of awkward of angles. When planned correctly, even a small bank of fitted wardrobes can offer as much utility as a full walk-in wardrobe. With luxury features like integrated lighting, you’d be surprised at what a wardrobe can do with a little prior planning, says W’s en eed. few carefully chosen solutions, implemented well,

can turn a straightforward storage space into something truly special. en and the team take an uncompromising approach to the design and manufacturing process, delivering meticulously made, quality wardrobes that match the unique needs of each individual property and user alike.

In addition to all of this, W use commercial-grade materials chosen to stand up to the demands faced by most holiday homes in Cornwall. Whether you’re storing bed sheets or boogie boards, each wardrobe can be built from the materials that match your precise requirements.

W’s support doesn’t end at fitted furniture, either. For clients who need a complete room or house rejuvenation, RRW have partnered with a local interior design firm that specialises in visualising and specifying paint schemes, flooring, lighting, fabrics and standalone furniture. This design partnership ensures that RRW can offer clients a holistic end-to-end service if the client re uires more than ust fitted furniture.

So, if you want to improve the functionality and space of your home, then make sure to contact the W team today and find out how a fitted wardrobe could help transform our home.

Sustainable STYLE

With their ears forever to the ground for the latest home trends, Cornwall Rug Company’s new sustainable collection simply oozes style.

W

ithin the four walls of Cornwall Rug Company’s two-storey showroom hides a world of interior expression, one that’s brim-full of lovingly handpicked rugs and beautiful accessories from around the globe.

Over the last year, a key trend in the world of architecture and interior design has been sustainability, and this is set to continue.

According to Cornwall Rug Company owner, April, “the idea that ‘less is more’ is resulting in more purposeful purchases, a key factor in the sustainable ethos.”

April and the team follow this principal by selecting special pieces that promote beautiful design, made by hand, using timeless materials. April continues: “To quote William Morris, you should ‘have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful’. We strongly agree with this!

“Our 2019 collection of beautiful rugs and interior décor features natural organic materials, with a nostalgic feel of times gone by, crafted in traditional ways for centuries.

We are also passionate about mid-century design and furniture, that is both practical and stylish for our homes today.”

For colours, April and the team are opting for a combination or warm and natural tones, to instantly update a tired room, focusing on graphic patterns to add a statement.

We here at Cornwall Living absolutely love Cornwall Rug Company’s new collection, and if you’re thinking of updating your home, it’s fair to say that you will too! To see the full collection and get the team’s top tips on making the most of your new home décor, be sure to pop into the showroom!

CREEK LIFE

A home designed by CSA Architects to capitalise on the dynamic qualities of Mylor Creek.

B

ased in Truro, CSA Architects offers a bespoke service that focuses on its clients’ aspirations, and the specific re uirements of the pro ect, to deliver exceptional buildings. A recent pro ect that achieved all of the above with finesse and statement C character is Waterside in Mylor. he initial meeting was held at ylor acht arbour, where C rchitects Director, Dan Meek, and the client sat outside the caf and went over the possibilities, en oying the sun, the bustlings of the harbour, and the natural landscape. roviding the perfect inspiration for what was to become a breathtaking building, which draws on each of these elements. ituated right on the water’s edge, Waterside merges with the creek’s surroundings, with changing tides, weather and seasons providing a constant reminder of nature alongside the life and bustle of the nearby working harbour. an tells us ur client wanted a home that made the most of the spectacular views, with a connection to the vibrant coastal community, which couldn t be achieved by a refurbishment of the existing property." he result is a beautiful property made with grey slate and wooden detailing, which blends in to the emotive blues of the creek and surrounding trees. he use of these traditional materials of slate, render and timber is simple and unfussy, so that life

on the creek can take centre stage,” explains Dan. When the tide is in, the house almost appears to sit on the water and with its own mooring, the owners can literally walk out the door and onto their boat. he simple interiors have been designed to accentuate the views and allow the property to be flooded with natural light. ll in all, it’s a beautifully designed home, built to ma imise its spectacular location whilst also remaining sympathetic to the natural environment within which it resides. he best way to appreciate the new house is from the water so we’re planning to get the paddleboards out for a site visit!” says Dan. Although, here at Cornwall Living, we reckon the aerial shots certainly do the building ustice, highlighting its stunning location, clever design and sympathetic use of materials.

A new lease OF LIFE

Restore your dilapidated furniture to its former glory with help from the team at P&C Upholstery.

W

hen thinking about changing the décor in our homes an option that’s easily overlooked is the prospect of re-upholstering furniture. ooking at your tired and worn sofa might be starting to make you feel like it’s time to ditch it and move on, but that doesn’t have to be the case. If the main structure is sound then reupholstering could be the easier and cheaper option; giving you that new furniture feel without having to fork out for a complete replacement. Plus, re-upholstering means that if it’s a significant item of furniture, perhaps passed down through the family or discovered in an antique shop, you’re able to restore it to its former glory and continue to enjoy it for years to come.

P&C Upholstery is a family company spanning three generations of the finest craftspeople, helping people bring new life to old pieces of furniture. Customers from all reaches of the country have chosen P&C since 1965 for the team’s attention to detail and sympathetic restorations. ee tells us he beauty is in the detail. perts in their field, the team offer commercial contract and domestic services, providing upholstery for chairs, sofas,

headboards and curtains. They also provide a design service that includes working on bespoke furniture projects, covering everything from building furniture frames through to fabric design and finishing details. ee continues “We’ll help you take your vision from the initial concept, to the design, to finally producing a handcrafted finished piece.

Specialising in bringing furniture back to life, P&C can restore your furniture using modern or traditional materials whilst still retaining its characteristic qualities. The company upholsters to very high standards, producing a uality finish that lasts for years. Covering the whole of Cornwall and offering a nation-wide service, P&C will help restore your item back to its prime condition so that you don’t have to give up on a great piece of furniture.

MODERN DEMAND Due to open on 22nd June after major refurbishment, we find out what you can expect from the all-new HBH Woolacotts Wadebridge branch.

ì TOP CGI image of the TV Showroom on the first floor ì ABOVE The new look store has been designed to better cater for modern built-in kitchens ì RIGHT The sound room at HBH Woolacotts' Plymouth Superstore inspired the designs of a similar space in the revamped Wadebridge store

DID YOU KNOW? Originally a 17th century coach house, this impressive building is steeped in history and its distinctive dome – a centrepiece in the new branch designs – can be seen from all around Wadebridge!

O

riginally opened in 1994, the branch was the business’ 5th store and has always been successful for the company. The current refurbishment is its third refit, and the latest designs promise to bring an even larger selection of the very best technologies and brands to Wadebridge in time for summer 2019. Indeed, split over two floors, the new designs are based around current market trends, most notably the need to show off a large range of built-in kitchen appliances for the new and replacement markets, and an increasing movement towards larger screen televisions and complementary sound and home-cinema products.

If you’re kitting out your living space to meet the demands of modern entertainment, or are upgrading part of your home and need the appliances to really bring your home into the 21st century, the new and improved Wadebridge branch will showcase smaller ‘pick up and go’ items, including vacuum cleaners, small kitchen appliances, portable audio, cameras and headphones at the front of the ground floor, giving you a quick and easy area in which to view and purchase these items. The remainder of the ground floor has been dedicated to home and kitchen appliances, with the most notable improvement being the increased space for built-in kitchen appliances.

he first floor, which can now be accessed via a staircase or an impressive, all-new glass elevator, brings together the very best in television, home audio and premium hi-fi, and is split into two main sections. One is dedicated to the very best in television and home-cinema products, with large displays from the market’s leading brands, while the second, for the audiophiles among us, is dedicated to premium audio and home cinema. Audio brands such as Arcam, Pioneer KEF, Bowers & Wilkins, Monitor Audio and many more will be available, but the real feature here is two full, demonstrable home cinema set ups, including a full 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos set up, which promises to blow you away!

Store Manager Geoff Pratt tells us: “We’re really excited with the changes to the Wadebridge store and, while it’s been a di cult few months, I’m confident that the changes will future proof this store and allow our customers to see and demonstrate the very best products that the electrical industry has to offer, while getting honest, impartial advice from our trained Sales Advisers.”

AMAZING

spaces

Proving that great things come in small packages, we discover how Mid Cornwall Landscaping recently helped one family realise their dream garden.

A

few issues ago, we caught up with Chris Plant and the team at Mid Cornwall Landscaping, who offered us their top tips for capitalising on our outdoor spaces. With temperatures most definitely on the up, we thought we’d take a look at one of their most recent pro ects in ew uay – a fine example of how even the smallest space can be perfected for uality time spent with the family.

Chris is a firm believer in bringing the inside out’. With increasingly busy lifestyles, we should consider the garden an outside room, a place to unwind and make the most of the outdoor lifestyle that many of us love about being in Cornwall.” The idea of the garden being another room has well and truly fed into the pro ect at this semi detached home in ew uay a firepit gives the option of cooking al fresco, and the clever installation of a pizza oven, complete with its own log store, keeps things cosy after the sun goes down. A splash of colour in the patio furniture really offsets the look and, as we found out last time we caught up with Chris,

a colourful piece of furniture set against the darker hues of wood or stone can really make a statement.

To make the space stand out from other back gardens, Mid Cornwall Landscaping have used a winning combination of coastal Cornish plants and materials.

Wild meets man-made, and the effect is dazzling. Chris tells us: “Making landscaping choices in harmony with nature can be incredibly rewarding, and certainly does not mean compromise Mid Cornwall Landscaping are there to help you with all your garden and landscaping needs, offering advice, design and even a full planting and construction service. If you’ve been scratching your head over how you can capitalise on your outside space – no matter how limited you are on room – why not give Chris and the team a call?

WHERE

there's a will...

We discuss the art of installation with the Spyrys Spas and Hot Tubs team.

W

ould you like a hot tub but worry that you won’t be able to get it into your garden? Cornish company, Spyrys Spas and Hot Tubs has built up an enviable reputation for getting hot tubs into di cult places without expensive cranes. They even won a ‘Most i cult elivery of the ear’ award for one of their projects, which involved winching a hot tub onto a garage roof, ramping it down the other side and finally down into a conservatory.

To enable these tricky installations, Spyrys has invested in specialist equipment for handling hot tubs including a unique trailer, dolly, sled, winches and ramp building materials. wner rian’s twenty-five years’ e perience in the construction industry has set him in good stead for solving problem sites, and he loves a challenge. “We see a crane as a tool of last resort,” Brian tells us. “They’re expensive, cumbersome things and it’s often quicker and easier to build a ramp over an obstacle.

The best thing is our Tirfor winch, which we used to use for dragging our truck out of mud during off-road competitions, but now it’s exclusively for pulling hot tubs up ramps, or even lowering them down.”

It’s a relief to know that there are professionals on hand to install your new hot tub and that it will be done in the most e cient way possible. s well as this stellar service, the Spyrys team also offers an initial site visit to discuss the best locations for your hot tub, plus an after-care service and customer support. This means that throughout the whole process, you get professional help and advice from the experts, and whether you’re a first time buyer or a hot-tub veteran, it's clear you’ll be in safe hands. Then, before you know it, you’ll be watching the sun descend from the comfort of your own tub, sipping on a chilled flute of bubbles.

Adopting a unique, creative approach to Cornish home improvement projects, we catch up with Quercus Building Solutions.

ì ABOVE Bespoke beautiful buildings, works of art in their own right

S

ince establishing Quercus Building Solutions in 2002, company owner Dominic and the team have grown the business considerably. Over the last 17 years, they’ve built a reputation for creating bespoke beautiful buildings – works of art in their own right. We speak to Dominic about his background, before he launched the business.

“I started my career studying Sculpture and Monumental Masonry at Falmouth School of Art (now Falmouth University). After graduating, I spent nearly a decade working with granite and Portland stone, so when I came to launch Quercus, I was coming into building from a very different angle.”

Dominic’s experience, plus that of his team – who have worked all over the world – translates into a different, more creative approach to projects, specialising in unusual solutions that really help their clients’ homes stand out. “Stonework and landscaping, in particular, benefit from my previous experience,” explains Dominic, “and we’ve created a number of superb pieces for finishing homes and gardens. Clients love the different perspective that we bring to their projects, and a high percentage of our work comes via recommendations from happy customers.” Impressive!

But it doesn’t stop there.

From new builds to renovations, with combined skills that cover carpentry and joinery, plastering, painting and decorating, as well as tree surgery, fencing, decking, summer houses and home o ces, uercus brings most, if not all, of your home project needs under one banner. With a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship, by a team that’s not afraid to think outside the box when it comes to making your property stand out, why not enlist the help of Quercus Building Solutions to transform your home into the envy of your neighbours?

AS THEY ARE KIND

In celebration of its 15th anniversary, the team at Oltco is taking the opportunity to give back to the local community.

ABOVE ì A well-deserved pasty for the crew at Newquay Fire Station RIGHT è Oltco's themed cupcakes, well received at Crantock Lodge BELOW RIGHT The Newquay Community Orchard

L

ast month we met Johnny Pearce and Tom Stringer, owners of resin-bound flooring specialist, ltco. We learned that ohnny’s personable approach to business development and om’s hands-on approach to delivering solutions has proved a formidable combination, one that has garnered contracts with prestigious clients including ellogg’s and olls oyce ut it’s not just greatness in its work that sets this company apart.

Indeed, ltco also does its utmost to give back to the local community, which is why, to celebrate its 1 th anniversary, Johnny, Tom and the team have initiated a campaign called andom cts of indness’. o far, they have delivered ltco pasties to local fire fighters at ew uay Community Fire tation, as well as special ltco themed cupcakes, which they delivered personally to Crantock odge Care ome. hey also visited ew uay unior cademy chool to award ach iper – who raised thousands of pounds for acmillan Cancer by shaving his head – with a family pass to lton owers. his e emplary business has become the ’s leading resin bound driveway solutions provider. o give you an idea of the work ltco does, we need look no further than ew uay Community rchard C , where the team recently installed a 200 s uare metre ecycle ound pathway. he brief re uired a pathway that was both non-slip and durable, due to the area being open to the public. s a funded organisation, C needed to be confident that the pathway was a solid investment, one that wouldn’t need replacing in a few years. uke erkeley, C irector, tells us Working with ltco was a great e perience for us. his footpath was a big addition to our site, one which will be used for years to come. ltco’s passion for the pro ect – and the team s desire to get it

done in one day to minimise disruption to our community – made it a really easy process. It looks great, it’s reliable and most importantly it fully supports our ethos of sustainability and reuse. s the world’s first flooring solution to utilise waste plastic, with key attributes being porous and non-slip, plus a 20-year guarantee, ecycle ound represents a great leap forward in resin-bound solutions.

hen Inovaa owners ason and isa were unable to find a company that created the kind of garden pods and buildings they wanted to incorporate into their Cornish holiday park, they followed the old adage ‘if you want something done right, do it yourself,’ and created their own line of garden pods to fill this void in the market.

The result is beautiful outdoor buildings, designed to withstand the harsh e tremes of Cornish weather and built to an e tremely high standard by the dedicated team. Lisa tells us: “We now make beautiful pods, shepherd huts and garden rooms, made with care and attention to detail, using the best quality materials and highly skilled staff.”

The pods come in a range of different designs named after some of west Cornwall’s most picturesque beaches – you have a choice between Sennen, Porthcurno and Penberth. Both the Sennen and Porthcurno sleep four and Penberth sleeps two; all designs are wood cladded, giving them a woodland lodge feel and making them perfect when utilised as glamping pods or simply to provide e tra space. ach one of the pod designs can be tailored to your e act re uirements, fitting perfectly with the needs of your business, family or lifestyle.

From the initial design to full realisation, the friendly team will work closely with you to create the unique space you’ve always wanted

SAVING TIME

We catch up with Cornish Horizons and learn about their pledge of support to Cornwall’s Air Ambulance service.

he perfect break in Cornwall means different things to different people, but ensuring we all have access to emergency care (even if we need it whilst on holiday) is a top priority for everybody. This is why Cornish Horizons – one of the county’s leading holiday companies – has pledged its support to the Cornwall Air Ambulance.

Cornish ori ons, which has five o ces throughout Cornwall, raised over £9,500 last year for Cornwall Air Ambulance by enabling customers to make a voluntary donation of just £2 when booking their holiday online.

Harriet Wills, Cornish Horizons’ Marketing Manger, tells us: “We can’t believe how quickly we’ve raised such a large sum of money. It just goes to show how important our guests feel the Air Ambulance is. You never know when you will need it and, being such a large county – which in the height of summer becomes extremely busy – having the Air Ambulance is vital. We’re proud to say that every penny goes to the Cornwall Air Ambulance, as it should.”

Catherine Coad, who works alongside Harriet, continues: “Our visit to the base near Newquay was incredible. To see the helicopters and the amazing equipment they carry on board was also humbling, and we are delighted that our guests recognise the importance of this service.”

The Cornwall Air Ambulance has been saving lives across the county since 1987, flying more than 00 lifesaving missions each year. The helicopter can be dispatched within just three minutes of a 999 call and, on average, can be at the scene of an accident or incident anywhere in Cornwall within 12 minutes. The crew can treat patients on the scene or take them to the hospital that best suits their needs, be that in Cornwall or at specialist hospitals out of county, such as Derriford’s Trauma Unit or Bristol Children’s Hospital. Reaching these specialist centres takes minutes, rather than the hours it can take by road, and it's this that makes the Air Ambulance so important – when a life hangs in the balance, speed is absolutely critical.

The first in Cornwall and sixth overall, The Cornwall Hotel is thrilled to open the doors of the all-new Laura Ashley The Tea Room!

T

he all-new Laura Ashley The Tea Room opened to the public on Saturday 25th May, following an exclusive VIP event on Friday 24th May. Laura Ashley artefacts, including one of the earlier prints designed by Laura Ashley, were on display at the VIP launch event. The items were kindly provided

by Llangoed Hall Hotel, where they are usually displayed, along with original Laura Ashley wallpaper.

Onto the food and the deliciously charming afternoon tea experience on offer here. Guests can indulge in an extensive range of mouth-watering sweet and savoury treats, accompanied by a variety of Tregothnan teas and a selection of Frobisher’s juices.

The full menu includes a range of afternoon tea options, including vegan, gluten-free, traditional and a children’s option. There’s also a choice of freshly made sandwiches, handmade patisseries, cakes and scones, all served with fresh Cornish clotted cream. While it may seem obvious, one of the key aspects of the perfect afternoon tea is the tea itself. At Laura Ashley The Tea Room, the extensive range of Tregothnan teas include their home-grown English Breakfast Tea, a refreshing Earl Grey, a punchy Peppermint Tea, a light and aromatic Afternoon Tea and lots more, all presented in a beautiful tea pot – typical of Laura Ashley.

Rebecca Coonan, the hotel’s General Manager, tells us: “We’re so excited that the Laura Ashley The Tea Room is now open! We had a great time celebrating the launch on Friday, ahead of o cially opening the doors to the public on Saturday. We can’t wait for guests to enjoy the delicious selections on offer, all served in beautiful, coastal-inspired surroundings.”

Laura Ashley Designer, Kay Cullen, says: “We could not help but be inspired by the hotel’s beautiful location and the local story of the Lost Gardens of Heligan. The Cornwall shares many similar stories of past owners and their travels to exotic places. Our aim was to create a reflection of its past and the surrounding grounds, whilst also giving the space a sense of modernity and freshness.

We’ve achieved this by using pops of fiery orange, offset with calming blues, with mirrored panels bringing in the view, all with touches of vintage oriental in the tea plates and art.”

The Laura Ashley The Tea Room at The Cornwall Hotel is now taking bookings, so to secure your table, or to find out more, be sure to visit The Cornwall Hotel website.

g n i r e t a c h s i n r o C Introducing AVO, a catering company with a focus on sustainability and fresh local ingredients.

ì TOP Using the freshest local produce available

BELOW RIGHT Founders Danny and Mark ê BELOW

Creating tantalising menus for weddings and events

A

VO was grown from one simple idea: a catering company that builds its menus from local Cornish ingredients, in the most sustainable way possible.

AVO was founded by fellow chefs Danny Wingate and Mark Polgalse. Born and raised in Cornwall, the duo met three years ago whilst working at a bustling café on one of Cornwall’s finest beaches, and now pour 30 years of experience into their menus to create a fresh, contemporary offering of local produce for weddings and events, as well as catering to the hungry businesses surrounding Truro and Falmouth.

“After so many summers spent on the beach,” Mark explains, “we wanted to take these memories and breathe them into our catering, bringing people the flavours of Cornwall in the most considerate way, using our knowledge of flavours, passion and experience to develop bespoke menus that take you on a trip to the coast, no matter where you are!” t the core of is a firm commitment to eco-friendly practices. As Danny tells us: “We are both very aware of the waste that can take place in the catering industry and we wanted to start something that addressed that issue.”

AVO has achieved this by avoiding things

like single-use plastics that dominate kitchens, using only biodegradable and recyclable packaging instead.

The company is also currently starting construction of its new, eco-friendly kitchen on Mark’s family’s farm in Perranwell near Truro.

“We continue to seek out and champion our amazing local Cornish produce, and this is all thanks to having such a fantastic array of suppliers right on our doorstep – this has enabled us to create a range of bespoke menus showcasing the great, seasonal ingredients available.”

AVO is a family business at heart, with Mark’s wife Rebecca taking control of the company’s accounts from their family home, while looking after their three children – Ella, Josie and Reggie. Meanwhile, Danny’s wife to be, Madeline, takes care of the company’s branding and marketing, alongside planning their wedding. We think it’s safe to say they’ve got the catering covered!

EXPERIENCE

DISCOVER MORE The team are planning a crowd funding campaign with feast nights over the coming months, to install solar panels that will run the kitchen and the company’s delivery vehicles; all with a view to creating a business that’s 100% self-sufficient.

THE scoop Ideas for you and your pooch, from vet care, to stays, to must-have accessories.

Is your pet covered

out of hours?

When it comes to our pets, it’s worth thinking about what might happen in an out-of-hours emergency, at night or during the weekend. It therefore makes sense to find a surgery that covers out-of-hours care, so you can rely on it at any time of the day – or night. Another aspect to consider is whether the surgery provides 24-hour nursing care, so sick pets aren’t left alone.

With that in mind, make sure to check with your vet and find out how your pet will be cared for in an emergency. ernow ets is one e ample of a vet team in Cornwall who provide the assurance of round-the-clock care so, whether home or away, you know that they will be there for you and your pet.

DISCOVER MORE Victoria Sewart Contemporary Jewellery Gallery is home to a diverse range of collections to suit all budgets and occasions.

The team’s Jewellery School, above the gallery, is great for those who want to learn the tricks of the trade, with courses that even allow couples to make their own wedding rings!

everal exhibitions this year at Victoria Sewart Contemporary Jewellery Gallery & School have caught our eye, including the comeback, after a year off, of the popular ‘Ringing the Changes’ exhibition. Currently running until mid July, Ringing the Changes features ten incredible designers, producing everything including modern, contemporary, traditional and sculptural rings, as well as pieces featuring precious stones, art pieces and much, much more!

Now, in collaboration with the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, Victoria is very excited to announce her latest project, ‘Entanglement’.

“We are creating some retail bracelets and pendants made from ghost nets, alongside a collection of art jewellery created by all the staff here at the gallery, all to raise awareness and highlight the issues of ghost net entanglement, a serious issue for our seals and a threat to the wider marine ecosystem.”

Held at Falmouth Poly from Monday 15th to Saturday 20th July, when the exhibition closes, the retail pieces will be available for purchase in the Seal Sanctuary’s gift shop, with proceeds going to charity.

Single use plastics and plastic marine litter have become a serious threat to our marine wildlife, an issue that’s nowhere more apparent than on the coast here in Cornwall.

Every day, animals become entangled in rubbish; unable to escape, entanglement can lead to serious injuries and, in some

cases, death. At the Cornish Seal Sanctuary TOP Retail pieces from the team are dedicated to the rescue, the exhibition will rehabilitation and release of grey seal pups, be available at the many of who have suffered the effects of Seal Sanctuary marine litter entanglement. gift shop Seals are, by their very nature, inquisitive INSET creatures, and will investigate items they Sadly, ghost net come across. Particularly dangerous to seals entanglement is a are plastic beach toys, dogs’ toys, diving growing issue for our seal equipment and netting – they will investigate populations an item and often get stuck inside it, or find it wrapped around their neck, body or ABOVE appendages. As an entangled pup grows, the Victoria's gallery is item gets tighter and tighter, causing serious home to a fabulous range of jewellery wounds and even death in some cases, so the less litter there is in the oceans, the less chance there is of an animal suffering. After all, jewellery is meant for humans to wear; seals shouldn’t find themselves wearing a fishing net like a necklace To support this fantastic new exhibition and to find out more about the growing issue of plastic marine litter and what you can do to help, be sure to go along.

GET INVOLVED! Head down to Kernow Adventure Park for an action packed day of water sports that the whole family can enjoy.

WORDS BY

Bethany Allen

I

f you’ve never been to Kernow Adventure Park before, you’re in for a real treat. As you make your way down the track to the car park, little is revealed until you walk through the doors and into the reception area. At this point, however, you may be lost for words as you take in the stunning views of the quarry, with high cliffs encasing the tranquil waters of the lake. In summer, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled across a foreign paradise.

Owner, Alex Sly, and the Kernow Adventure team are passionate about bringing water sports to people of all ages and abilities. Motivating everyone to get stuck in and have fun, whether you’re on the aqua park, wakeboarding, ringo riding or stand up paddle boarding. The positive team of instructors will give your little ones the courage to have an adventure, and you’re sure to be impressed by how quickly they gain confidence with the different water sports available. ike surfing and skateboarding, wakeboarding is generally quite a male dominated sport, so it’s great to see more and more women are getting into it – and you could be one of them. Whether you’re a complete novice on a board or not, you’ll be amazed at how exhilarating it is.

“To encourage the ladies out there to give it a go, we’ve recently introduced ladies sessions,” says Alex, “allowing you to try out wakeboarding in a supportive and encouraging environment.” The ladies session runs from 11am until 1pm on Saturdays, and if you have kids – bring them along. The aqua park couldn’t be a better playground and with supervision by the team, you can ride safe in the knowledge that your kids are having fun while you learn something new as well.

I speak from experience when I say you’ll be up on your feet before you know it, cruising up and down the lake and working on your arms and core muscles, but you won’t even realise because you’ll be having so much fun – the best kind of workout!

Learning a new skill like this is great for your confidence and the edge of adrenaline will make you feel more alive than ever.

Don’t take my word for it though, head down for the ladies session and find out for yourself, because trust me – it’s worth it!

t n e v e A wild If you’re planning a party, corporate gathering or community event, then a Wild Tipi could be the perfect venue.

ì ABOVE Configurations to suit any event and fitting up to 1,000! ì INSET

The perfect outdoor venue for your special day

DID YOU KNOW? National Trust property, Saltram House in Plymouth has favoured Wild Tipis to provide semi-permanent event space in their grounds for several months across the summer and winter periods, giving guests a new experience to enjoy and explore.

W

e catch up with Wild Tipi Founder, am oore, to find out what a tipi party entails!

“We love the versatility of a tipi,” Sam explains. “The tipi is durable, provides warmth in the winter and cool in the summer. It can be put up in hard-to-reach places, with minimal disruption to the environment and packed away quickly, leaving no trace.”

The smaller, ‘Midi Tipis’ are perfect for an intimate drinks reception or chill-out area, whilst the ‘Giant Hats’ can be joined together to provide space to seat between 70 and 1,000 guests, in numerous configurations. he hardwood flooring option means that they can also be put up as longer-term structures.

“We have been a part of some amazing events. Wild Tipis have graced the (listed!) lawns at Dartington Hall in Devon, held feast nights at Trewithen Gardens in Probus and are looking forward to a summer packed full of community focused projects working alongside Oak Tree School in Truro and the amazing Chaos Group. Although most of our bookings are still from weddings and parties, we have seen a trend in private, corporate and community events too as the versatility, beauty and magic of a tipi becomes better known.”

So what makes a Wild Tipi the perfect place for a party or event? First and foremost, every ipi event can be tailored to fit your e act needs, so whether you are having a small, intimate party for 50, a corporate away-week for 200 or a community festival for 1,000, the location, the set-up and the styling is entirely up to you. Of course, Wild Tipi are happy to work alongside you to take away any worry in the run up to, or the running of your event as well.

People also love that a Wild Tipi is kinder to the environment; all tipis are UK-made from sustainably-sourced English pine and the company works hard to reduce its carbon footprint wherever it can. And of course, nothing compares to the magic of a tipi and the childlike wonder it creates; it really does need seeing to be believed!

So, if you’re planning a party, event or community project, why not get in touch with Sam and the Wild Tipi team and discover the beauty of the ‘Giant Hats’ for yourself!
