Helston Flora Day

Helston, Cornwall 8 May

A wonderful seasonal celebration to mark the arrival of new vitality and fertility as spring flowers burst into life. The market town is decorated with greenery and floral arrangements, with dancers dressed in their finery parading the streets and entering selected houses and shops to drive out the darkness of winter and bring in the light of spring. A colourful pageant also reveals the history and culture of the town, as well as key historical events told by costumed performers.
