SCOTT WOYKA FURNITURE OPEN STUDIO “Ria” is the latest offering from the “Woykshop” celebrating our river and looking at it from a new perspective; a sculptural piece of art furniture which promises to be thoroughly practical too. We hope you can come and see it.

Arriving in Falmouth 24 years ago and looking out over the Carrick Roads I was totally smitten and decided then I must live here. The combination of the stunning estuary views, the constant activity of leisure and commercial craft and the ever changing conditions provide constant stimulation. This year we have been looking back in time at the formation of the Fal estuary, and what makes this place so special and famous. Falmouth and the Carrick Roads are known as the third deepest natural harbour in the world, and it is this that has made Falmouth what it is today. www.scottwoyka.co.uk /scottwoykafurniture

Trelissick families have made and lost fortunes, managed the land, sailed the sea, fought Fascism and championed Cornwall. The artworks have been made from natural materials to celebrate Trelissick’s love of the countryside. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/trelissick

KERNOW KING’S GREATEST HITS ON THE KING HARRY FERRY £15 Advance / Door

Join us for a night of laughs as KK transforms the King Harry Ferry into a unique floating stage for one unmissable night to perform his Greatest Hits!

It’s hard to believe that the Kernow King has been touring Cornwall and beyond for over six years with three smash hit shows- “Wonders of the Cornish Universe”, “Splann!” and “Minority Rapport”. Not to mention two

Christmas shows and the award winning “Trevithick!”.

Taking in glorious sights such Sydney, Glastonbury, Adelaide, Manchester, London (Apprentice), Roche and many more villages, towns and cities in between. All

have welcomed the humble King into their communities.

But now the time has come to rap up the last six years of performing, and what better way to do it than to tour our fair nation of Cornwall with Kernow King’s “Greatest Hits”.

“We’ve had some good nights, eh?” says the King, “and some less good ones”.

SUMMER FUN SERIES Ever seen an amateur Stand Up Paddleboard race before? Well WeSUP are launching their annual summer SUP race league which is not to be missed!

Spectators and competitors will enjoy high intensity paddling and total carnage as they race around a tight inshore circuit before sprinting up the beach, over and under obstacles, and back to their SUP boards for multiple laps of the famous ‘W’ course.

Races are open for anyone to enjoy totally free of charge. The only condition is that you have had at least a taster lesson to ensure your skills are at least good enough to get you out to sea and back again safely.

At times like these, a man feels the Reaper creeping up on him But is death anything to fear? And is it really the end? (Yes. Yes, it is, sorry!) Mitch confronts his - and YOUR - mortality with hilarious (and tuneful) consequences. Join him! It’s time you’re not getting back!

FREE Hag Owr Formed over 8 years ago, Du Hag Owr (Cornish for ‘Black and Gold’) have a rich vein of experience, performing across the country from Land’s End to London. Alongside traditional shanties, Du Hag Owr write and perform their own original compositions, which reflect their view of the sea and those who work upon it.

Rum and Shrub Shantymen Rum and Shrub Shantymen are a group of traditional singers from Cornwall with a worldwide reputation for lively singing of shanties, sea songs and folk songs. Performing together as a group since 1991, they take their name from a well-known local drink reputed to have been enjoyed by smugglers.

Fisherman’s Friends arrive for the first time at Trebah with a “full catch” of new material along with their old favourites.

The Fisherman’s Friends from Port Isaac have warmed the hearts of visitors and locals with their traditional songs of Cornwall, handed down to them by their forefathers.
