Library Unleashed!
Helston Library Takeover
FREE EVENTS – NO BOOKING REQUIRED
Helston Library is breaking free! For one day only, the library bursts out of its four walls and takes over the Cirk Hes Big Top at Coronation Park for a day of creative mayhem.
From swords to storytelling, writing workshops to mythical milkshakes — there’s something for every age. Whether your little ones are bookworms or need a bit of tempting, this is a day designed to show that libraries are anything but quiet.
Drop in any time and discover what happens when books escape into the big top!
Event-Specific Information
- Suitable for all ages — with specific sessions for different age groups (see below).
- This is a free, drop-in event. No booking required.
