Discover Helston

Talk: Discovering Gloves
2026-05-30 13:14 (Europe/London) | Museum of Cornish Life, Market Place, Helston, TR13 8TH, United Kingdom
Join our resident dress historian Andrea Newell for a talk and Q&A about the making of gloves, the materials used and the purpose they were used for. She will focus on the glove collection that we hold here at the Museum of Cornish Life giving you chance to see some of the collection that is rarely on display. You are invited to join in this discussion by bringing along a pair of gloves that have a special significance for you to share with others at this event. This talk is part of Helston Makes It!, our week-long annual celebration of makers and craft. This year, the festival celebrates the trades and crafts on display in our Meat Market, such as glove making, serpentine turning and woodwork.

Theatre: The Battling Butlers
2024-07-26 18:00 - 20:00 | Coronation Park, Coronation Park, Helston, TRI3 0RA
It’s helter-skelter, roller coaster, death-defying, dangerous…life on the road is never straight forward for single dad, Joe Butler in this poignant, musical celebration of the ever-changing relationship between a father-and-son, street theatre double-act.
Using a unique blend of circus skills, original songs, live music and magical illusions, The Battling Butlers is also a story of the circle of life as the old performer makes way for the new. And it really is a family affair, presented by father and son, Simon Pullum and Lochlann Pickering, with original live music from Julian Gaskell.
