SUMMARY:Exhibition - Nature Recovery in Cornwall
DESCRIPTION:On a single day in summer\, one acre of wildflower meadow can contain 3 million flowers\, producing 1kg of nectar sugar. That’s enough to support nearly 96\,000 honeybees per day. \n97% of species-rich grassland has been lost in the UK since the 1930s\, with the remaining 3% mostly fragmented across the country\, leaving little room for wildlife to spread. \nExplore how the National Trust and partners are tackling these issues\, through the Coastal Meadows project and the Lizard Rarities Project\, in this photography exhibition.

SUMMARY:Clay Monster: Queer Ta(i/e)ls (tails/tales)
DESCRIPTION:A free workshop for the LGBTQIA+ community led by artist\, Frankie Fisk “Play* ( *engage in activity for enjoyment rather than practical purpose ). Because our world needs\, softer\, wilder futures. Because monsters have birthdays too.” ~ Workshop facilitator Frankie Fisk Clay Monster: Queer Ta(i/e)ls (tails/tales) is a playful\, hands-in-the- ‘mud’ workshop where we’ll each sculpt a clay ‘monster’ and co-create a queer narrative. Blending clay play with child like storytelling methods\, the session invites collective myth-making\, and the imagining of otherwise worlds. We’ll draw on monster theory and queer ways of imagining to celebrate difference\, mess\, and things that don’t quite fit. \n \nOur monsters will then come together in the middle of our circle and be read the story we have written.  \n \nAfter the workshop\, your monsters will be fired and glazed — ready to take home as tender companions. \n \nNo experience needed — just a willingness to play and explore the speculative magic of ta(i/e)l-making \n \nThis event is supporting our ambition to become a safer space for the LGBTQIA+ community 🏳️‍🌈  \n \nAt Trevow Helston\, we’re developing an evolving Actively Safe Space Manifesto for our venue that we hope will serve as a blueprint for other venues locally and nationally. This workshop will help us understand what our manifesto needs to include to work towards creating a safer space for the LGBTQIA+ community. \n \nThis event is made possible through the Cornwall Community Foundation and People In Mind Fund.

SUMMARY://WET LAND//WET WORDS//WET WORK//
DESCRIPTION:A free workshop for the LGBTQIA+ community led by artist\, Indigo Wills “Cornwall is a landscape comprised of damp. Noticeably soaked and salt washed. The wetness is boundless. The wet land is queer.” ~ Workshop facilitator\, Indigo Wills Through writing and zine making\, we will unearth our own relationships to the wetness of the local landscape. This exploration of wetness will become a way to explore our community’s resistance to the inherent heteronormativity of the dry. Writing will be treated as an experimental\, judgment free and inclusive tool. \n \nAfter the workshop the zines will be collated into a ‘mother’ zine where all our shared writings will exist as a collective form of self-publishing. Creating a pocket-sized reminder for the local queer community that rural spaces are wet\, queer and where we belong. \n \nContent warning: There will be discussions about enforced heteronormativity which may include discussions around inherent societal queerphobia\, transphobia\, homophobia\, ableism. \n \nThis event is supporting our ambition to become a safer space for the LGBTQIA+ community 🏳️‍🌈  \n \nAt Trevow Helston\, we’re developing an evolving Actively Safe Space Manifesto for our venue that we hope will serve as a blueprint for other venues locally and nationally. This workshop will help us understand what our manifesto needs to include to work towards creating a safer space for the LGBTQIA+ community. \n \nThis event is made possible through the Cornwall Community Foundation and People In Mind Fund.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Barry Mundy - Master of the Withies
DESCRIPTION:A guided conversation between crab/lobster pot maker Barry Mundy and Storylines. \nBarry’s family have used the old net loft on the edge of Mullion Harbour for centuries with many of them mastering the skill of making withy pots for fishing. Barry was filmed by Cornwall College Camborne students in 2024 as part of the Withy Lore project. Until that day he hadn’t made a pot for 7 years although up until 1960’s he made pots annually\, making over 200 pots each winter. Since filming he has since gone on to make new pots and now has a growing collection.
