SUMMARY:The Wind in the Willows
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 24th May at 6.30pm\nMole yearns to explore the wide world. Gruff old Badger enjoys peace and quiet. And Rat likes picnics and just messing about in boats. Their idyllic lives on the Riverbank are turned upside down when Toad\, bewitched by the roar of an engine and the screech of burning tyres\, pursues his latest in a long line of extravagant obsessions: a fast\, red motor-car. \nMultiple award-winning Illyria celebrates Kenneth Grahame’s timeless tale of friendship\, laughter\, the longing for home and the lure of adventure. Enjoy it all summer across the UK where the story is set: in the great British outdoors.

SUMMARY:Helston Water Carnival & Helston Town Band Fete!
DESCRIPTION:In 1912 when the Lower Green was flooded a Water Carnival was begun to encourage fun and frivolities on the newly created Boating Lake. The Water Carnival vanished from the town calendar perhaps almost a hundred years ago but as part of our ambition to bring more events and activities to Coronation Park we want to revive and reinvent it! \nTo try out the idea for a Water Carnival this year we’re coinciding it with the town band’s fete and the museum’s Cornish Fair on 20th July to make for a town-wide day of entertainment! \nWe want to hear from up-for-a-challenge\, lets-give-it-a-go\, more-than-a-little-competitive groups to create their own water-borne floats for our pedalo-powered Water Carnival Grand Parade. A top-notch team of judges will be called in to award the winning float a £100 and the enviable honour of leading the Grand Parade around the lake! \n#HelstonWaterCarnival IS BACK! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPractical information for groups who want to enter
\nHow many floats will there be?\nWe only have space for 9 floats (the number of rowing boats and pedalos we have to hand…) and groups will be invited to create a float on a first-come-first-served basis. \nWhat should we make?\nWe would like to see spectacular creative installations that can float on the Boating Lake. They will then be towed by the resident swan and flamingo pedalos\, and rowing boats\, for the Grand Parade. \nIs there a theme?\nWe aren’t setting a theme for the Grand Parade this year so the world is your oyster. \nWho pedals the pedalos and rows the boats towing the floats?\nIdeally each group will be pedal or row their own floats pedalo or boat. But if this isn’t possible for your group let us know. \nWhat if my float sinks or we get into trouble?\nThe boat crew from Naughty But Ice will be on hand to wade out and rescue floats and float creators – they’ll also help you to launch your float. \nIs there a limit on the size and weight?\nWe aren’t putting restrictions on the size or weight of the float but don’t forget you will need to pedal or row it around the lake! \nCan we be on the float?\nNot for this year. Everyone in your group must be either on dry land or on your pedalo or in your rowing boat. That doesn’t mean you can’t use ropes or bullies to create animation on your float\, they’ll just need to be operated from your pedalo or boat. \nWhat will happen on the day (20th July)?\nWe will ask you to bring your float to the Coronation Park between 8-10am. People transporting floats will be able to drive up to the lake. The Naughty But Ice boat crew will help you launch your float into the lake. Timings below are subject to change as the event is developed.\nAll floats must be in the water by 10am.\nFloats will be judged at 3pm.\nThe Grand Parade will launch at 4pm.\nFloats must be removed from Coronation Park between 6-8pm. \nWhat should I make the float out of?\nYour float can be made of anything you have to hand but it must be able to stay afloat and be able to be attached to a pedalo or rowing boat. We’ll work out fixings at a planning meeting together. \nWhat will be judged?\nJudges will be looking for the most spectacular and creative float design. Visitors to the park will also be able to judge entries and the “Helstonians Choice” award will be given to the float with the most visitor votes. \nHow much is it to enter?\nWe’re charging £10 per group – a bargain considering the £100 prize! \nAlright\, we’re ready to enter – what do we do?\nGreat! Get in touch for a form by emailing guy@cousinjacks.org or calling us on 07792858435. Don’t forget we can only accept the first 9 entries so get in touch asap!

SUMMARY:Theatre: Romeo & Juliet
DESCRIPTION:See it in Helston first! Join Illyria for their 2024 premiere performance of Romeo & Juliet this June. \nThe award-winning outdoor theatre company Illyria visits Helston with their premiere performance of Romeo & Juliet. \n“To experience this in the open air is uniquely special.” says Artistic Director Oliver Gray. “Outdoors\, with good company\, good food and a glass of something bubbly is a much less formal way to enjoy theatre\,” Oliver continues. “And there’s something truly unifying about actors performing\, and audiences listening\, all under the same sky.” \nTwo wealthy families\, the Montagues and the Capulets\, are at war. Their feud has been long and bitter. But when Romeo\, Montague’s son\, gatecrashes Capulet’s party in disguise\, everything changes. There he meets Juliet\, Capulet’s daughter\, and the pair fall into an intense\, forbidden love that sets in motion a chain of events leading to a devastating conclusion. \nFrom a secret rendezvous in a moonlit garden to a fateful duel under the scorching Verona sun\, Shakespeare masterfully explores the enduring power of love\, revenge and fate in one of his bestloved stories. But the surprising thing about this iconic tragedy is that it’s extremely funny too! \nPerformed by Illyria in the great outdoors\, this fastpaced\, polished\, beautifully spoken production has been created using only the First Folio text\, the most authoritative edition of Shakespeare’s plays. Illyria first performed this terrific play more than two decades ago to critical acclaim worldwide. This summer it returns for a third time: passionate\, poetic\, and utterly gripping!
